What is the Strathcona Christmas Bureau? 

The Strathcona Christmas Bureau is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization overseen by a Board of Directors. It has been helping families in Strathcona County since 1977. Every year around Christmas, it has a mission to provide qualifying residents hampers full of food and gifts. Occasionally, surplus funds are shared with similar community agencies who are supportive of its efforts in the community. The Strathcona Christmas Bureau is a registered charity with a goal of $100,000 for its 2022 campaign. 


Who receives the donations from the Strathcona Christmas Bureau? 

Once the hampers are filled with gift donations, they will be distributed to families and residents of Strathcona County. If you know a family in need, you can refer them before November 30, 2022. All referrals will be confidential
