** It's time for Holiday Hampers! **

 Charles Dickens Elementary School & Charles Dickens Annex

Holiday Hampers 2021

It’s that time of year again!

In the spirit of the season, the Charles Dickens PAC is asking for your support in helping to create holiday hampers for the families and individuals living in our community, who could use a little extra boost at this time of year.

Since the pandemic is not yet entirely behind us, we are once again requesting donations of gift cards and cash to help us assemble fun, useful, meaningful and impactful holiday hampers.

There are two ways to support Holiday Hampers:

1. Donate gift cards! Visit your local grocer or retailer and purchase your gift card(s) and then send the card(s) to school with your kids. Teachers will collect the gift cards on our behalf. Gift card ideas include:

• Grocery gift cards - Save On Foods, Buy Low, Safeway, Superstore, Walmart, Nesters or other local grocers

• Clothing gift cards - Old Navy, Gap, Walmart, Joe Fresh, Carters, Mark’s Work Warehouse, etc.

• Gift cards for toys - Amazon.ca, Indigo, Toys R Us, Walmart

• Flexible gift cards - Indigo, Amazon, Best Buy, The Bay, Walmart, Sephora, London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc.

2. Donate cash! through SchoolCashOnline.

• The link above is a direct link to the Charles Dickens PAC donation page. If you sign into your SchoolCashOnline account first, once you’ve selected the Make a Donation option, please be sure to select E-Charles Dickens PAC as your Fund Destination. 
• When you make your gift, please let us know that it is for the Holiday Hampers by making a note in the Message box. Cash gifts of $10 or more are eligible for charitable receipts, which are issued automatically by the VSB to your email.

This year’s hampers will be distributed beginning the week of December 6, so please be sure to drop off your donations by Friday, December 3, 2021. 

If you have any questions, please email us at charlesdickensholidayhampers@gmail.com

Your support is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!
