We want to help make
Christmas
Special for everyone.

Project Christmas Elf is for those who would like to help out people experiencing financial distress this Christmas.

The hope is that among us, we have the resources to give gifts to those under priviledge - and possibly even provide a food hamper if they've been unable to register at the Salvation Army in time.

Project Christmas Elf is here to lend a hand to any families in the Okanagan/Shuswap areas looking for some support this Christmas.

The project is an initiative consisting of "community members helping community members," from Chase to Peachland. 100% Volunteer Based.

It began in 2016 when Diane Evans started the project, and since then hundreds of families have been adopted by generous sponsors.

Our goal is to one day be able to service the entire Southern Interior of British Columbia, so that everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Whether you are a family who needs a sponsor or a Sponsor who wishes to help out a family, The Elves can help you connect and make a better Christmas for everyone!
