A Season of Giving, Connection, and Hope
For more than 50 years, Holiday Hope has been a Durham tradition of neighbours helping neighbours. This year’s campaign introduces new ways to give back: the Holiday Hope Pop-Up Shop, where families choose gifts that meet their needs, and Wrap for Hope at the Oshawa Centre, where volunteers raise funds by wrapping gifts for shoppers. Every toy, gift card, or donation spreads joy and hope that lasts long after the holidays.
Three Ways to Get Involved
Shop for Holiday Hope
Help fill the Pop-Up Shop by purchasing gifts or essentials for local children and youth. Every purchase helps a family celebrate the season with dignity and joy.
