Christmas can be a very stressful time for families who have left violent situations. More often than not, they are starting fresh with very little - in some cases, with nothing at all. All of the families who live at Liberty Lane and most of the families who access our outreach services are low income. It can be difficult enough to for these families to provide the basic necessities of life, let alone a special Christmas meal or gifts.
You can make the holiday season so much brighter for the families we serve by participating in our Christmas sponsorship program. In doing so, you help to give parents and kids a Christmas they would not have otherwise. Your commitment puts gifts under the tree for a specific family in need. The following sponsorship budgets are recommended for equity purposes:
$650 total for a 2-child family, $900 total for a 3-child family, etc.) Note: If these budget recommendations do not work for you, gift cards are a wonderful alternative to traditional sponsorship. All types of gift cards are welcome - for department stores (e.g. Walmart, Giant Tiger), grocery stores (e.g. Sobeys, Superstore), gas stations (e.g. Irving, Esso), utility companies (NB Power, Bell Aliant), etc. Gift cards for entertainment or dining out are also welcome, as these are luxuries that our families rarely or never experience. Maximum denominations of $25 .00 per gift card are ideal - feel free to donate a single card or multiple cards, whatever your budget allows. How Christmas Sponsorship Works
