Yes. When we email you the information on your adopted family, we ask that you contact them within a week or so of receiving the details, and let them know that you are their sponsor this year.

On our Guidelines for Hampers page, we have some suggestions for food items that you may wish to purchase. When speaking with the parent/guardian you could also check for any likes/dislikes/allergies etc. that they may have.

The cost for sponsoring a family changes based on the number of members in the family. Please see the chart below for reference:

Family Size Expected Cost
2 $200 – $250
3 $250 – $350
4 $350 – $450

If you would like to put a smile on a child’s face this year, you can drop off your donation of a new toy* or gift certificate at the Langley Christmas Bureau, located in Douglas Recreation Centre. (We ask that you please write the dollar amount on any gift card donation.)

* Although you may be tempted to purchase stuffed animals for donations, please note that they are often the last things to be chosen as gifts due to allergies.
