Christmas Exchange Program

 

The Christmas Exchange Program began in 1915 and has a long history as the first direct-assistance program provided by the Caring and Sharing Exchange.

The holidays are a festive and exciting time for most, but for some individuals and families, it can be a daunting time. Parents in particular strive to ensure Christmas day is special for their children and without the benefit of a festive meal it can leave them with a sense of distress and isolation.

The Christmas Exchange program provides direct assistance to those in need within the Ottawa community in the form of a food hamper or a redeemable gift voucher, providing recipients with a sense of hope and dignity during an otherwise difficult time of the year.
