Holiday Hampers - sign up deadline

For many years, the Queen Mary community has generously supported our sister school, Queen Alexandra Elementary (as well as several other vulnerable families on the Eastside of Vancouver).  Our support has included donations of food, clothing, school supplies, toiletries, Holiday Hampers and more!  

This year,  there are at least 36 Queen Alexandra families who have identified significant need for support by way of a Holiday Hamper. We are wondering if there are any families who would be able to provide a hamper.    There are also opportunities for families to work in combination with others to gather the hamper contents.  

Sponsoring a family is a wonderful opportunity to teach and talk with children about empathy, awareness, needs and wants, generosity, the importance of caring for and supporting each other, and more!   

If your family is able to gather items and donate a Holiday Hamper to a family at our sister school, please leave your name and contact information at the Queen Mary office by Wednesday November 8 2023 OR email Lara Osen at  laraosen@gmail.com   On receipt of this information, Lara will provide you with a comprehensive list of specific needs and ideas particular to that family.    Please also do not hesitate to contact Lara with any questions.
