Restoring dignity and helping families during the Christmas season
Opération Noël is our Christmas gift to our local communities, supporting families who are struggling at this time of the year, particularly those who have been greatly impacted by the inflation.
Every year during the Christmas season, our desire is to help every person enjoy every moment this season has to offer. In partnership with different organisations, your generosity enables us to restore dignity and bless multiple families during the Christmas season.
Toys to restore dignity upon parents
Operation Noël will provide gifts for parents to wrap themselves and give to their children on Christmas Day. A list of what each child would like to receive this year has been shared with us, so we can be as specific as possible.
Gift bags because everyone deserves to celebrate Christmas
Our team continues to visit homeless people week after week, and this year we would like to offer them some gift bags with food and a small gift for this season.
Christmas hampers so that families can share a beautiful Christmas dinner
Through the donations received, we can bless households by offering them a food hamper, thus allowing them to share a wonderful moment as a family.
Bake biscuits to help fill Opération Noël boxes
Here are 7 recipes for delicious Christmas biscuits. Have fun following the recipe and enjoy the scent of cinnamon and almonds. Please leave your biscuits in a zip-lock bag with our team in the foyer until Sunday 8 December.
