HOLIDAY HAMPER AND GIFTS FOR KIDS INFO

Sponsor Holiday HamperS & GIFTS FOR KIDS


Partner with Us to Make the Holidays Brighter for Local Families!

Central Food Network (CFN) works to ensure that everyone in our community can experience the warmth and comfort of the holidays. Through our Holiday Hamper Program, we provide all the fixings for a full holiday dinner & breakfast as well as gifts for parents & caregivers who might otherwise struggle to get something special for their children. We’d love for you to join us to make this happen!

This year, we expect up to 165 local families to turn to us for help putting a holiday meal on the table, and parents of 140 youth and children to need a hand putting a gift under the tree.

Your business or group can make a direct difference by sponsoring an item in the holiday hamper or gifts for kids & youth — a very meaningful way to give back to our community.

Get Involved Today! Deadline Monday, December 8th

For many families in our community, the holidays can be a real struggle. While parents worry about putting meals on the table, gifts often fall to the bottom of the list. But imagine the sparkle in a child’s eyes when they receive something special--something just for them.

This is where you can help! 

  • What to Donate: New, unwrapped toys and gift cards for kids and teens up to 18 years old
  • Where to Donate: Canoe FM at 739 Mountain Street in Haliburton Village.
  • Donations Close: Sunday, November 30th


The 4 food banks of Haliburton County thank Canoe FM for their generosity and support through this fundraiser and all year long!
