Help Make a Difference this Christmas!

Join in sharing hope and joy this Christmas with disadvantaged children, youth, families, First Nations communities, and individuals living in local shelters, supportive housing, and on the streets – those who may not otherwise receive a gift at Christmas. Businesses, schools, and individuals alike can help provide 2,500 stockings, 350 gifts, and 15 brand-new bikes for the 27th Annual Christmas Outreaches, SuperKids Drive-Thru Christmas and Warm-A-Soul. Community support is essential in order to provide these valuable outreaches. Financial donations will help make a difference for those in need this Christmas. Donate by calling our office at 250-384-2064, or online at www.extremeoutreach.com.

Christmas is a special time of year for everyone but it also brings a lot of challenges for many families. Bringing hope is the main mission at Extreme Outreach and this is one of the ways we share hope.

In place of the Annual Christmas Dinner, we will once again be hosting the SuperKids Drive-Thru Christmas on December 14, 2024, which will serve over 70 families. This event provides for local disadvantaged children, youth, and their families. They sign up on our website to receive a stocking and gift for their children and youth, and items for the family. We are also hoping to once again give away 15 brand-new bikes.

Help us fill 2,500 stockings with gifts, hygiene items, and treats by sending a financial donation. The Warm-A-Soul campaign runs from November 15 to December 15. To donate, volunteer or find more information about Extreme Outreach Society, please visit: www.extremeoutreach.com.
