We would love to share some of our team’s holiday traditions to help your Island families prepare for the holidays. Read all of our Holiday 2020 Foundation team traditions here.

Our Foundation team shares a few of their favourite holiday activities. From top left; Maggie and her partner, Aidan’s collection of board games, Michele’s family celebrating the holidays, and Anita’s daughter, Maya cutting down their Christmas tree.

 

Help us to better reflect the diversity of our community. Please share a recipe or tradition from your family so that we can include it on next year’s holiday page. Please send your recipes, crafts, and traditions to give@islandkidsfirst.com

With your support, Island kids will receive the health care they need this holiday season

We all need a little more joy in our lives and for many, isolation makes it difficult to find. With your help, we can spread seasonal cheer to Island kids and families by ensuring that they get the health care they need and can stay together over the holidays.
