When we partnered with Hyland Precast Ltd. for our 4th annual Building Christmas Dreams campaign, we sought out to make the holiday season brighter for some but we never could have predicted the sheer generosity of the community during this pandemic. We saw local individuals and businesses donate over $15,000, and once all donations were matched, over $30,000 was raised.
This season, Building Christmas Dreams helped 67 families in the Comox Valley, which was slightly more than what we were able to support last year. Many of these families received groceries and gift cards to be used for purchasing children’s toys; however, some other noteworthy donations included outdoor work gear, dentures, contribution towards rent payment, winter tires, vehicle repairs, and supporting a few families going through health emergencies.
We want to extend a warm thank you to the many individuals and local businesses who provided donations and nominations in support of this year’s Building Christmas Dreams campaign! It has been a difficult year for all and we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to brighten the holidays for a number of local families.
