Items on the Christmas Wish Lists and Care Packages of the agencies and organizations we support, along with donation options, are listed below.

​

GIFT CARDS: This year we plan to make use of an option, FundScript. Donations should be identified as: “For Local Outreach, Gift Donation; may be sent by e-transfer or included in Sunday Givings envelopes. Cash or cheque are also welcome, and may also be left in the box marked for gifts that will be under the Christmas Tree in the Sanctuary on December 14, 2025. Name or Envelope Number must be shown when cash or cheque is deposited in the box, for contributions to be acknowledged in each person’s Annual Sunday Givings. Colborne will benefit from this equivalent-value purchase made by Local Outreach. If proposing to participate and “Give A Gift” this year, please give FundScript careful consideration.
Gift Cards may also be purchased personally by the donor, and donated by depositing in the box under the Christmas Tree. No Sunday Givings acknowledgement in this situation as no benefit to Colborne (other than sincere thanks).
Gift Cards needed are: President’s Choice (can be used at all Loblaw’s, No Frills and Shoppers Drug Mart stores), Metro, Sobey’s, Food Basics, FreshCo, Walmart, Giant Tiger, and Dollar Store. All In $10 denominations. Tim Horton’s - $5 denomination cards. Also, Adult Bus Tickets are needed.
