Hearts for Christmas
There's a special kind of joy that fills a home when kids excitedly wake up to find gifts under the tree. The sparkle in their eyes, the excitement in their voice, and the great big hug that's sure to follow—it's something every family should have the opportunity to experience.
You can help families create moments like these.
Hearts for Christmas is a Feed Nova Scotia campaign rooted in the belief that every child should have the opportunity to find a little something under the tree on Christmas morning, and every parent should know the joy of picking out that special gift for their child.
This campaign operates in HRM only. Families in need of support are matched (anonymously) with people and businesses who want to get involved as a sponsor. Sponsors make a monetary donation proportionate to the number of families/children they'd like to support. Feed Nova Scotia buys gift cards for each child in the home that's being sponsored; secures and packs up all the food for a festive Christmas dinner (turkey, cranberries, potatoes, carrots, sweet potato, onions, apples and pie); and arranges delivery to the family's home.
There's no shopping for the sponsor. Families get the support in a confidential and dignified way. Sponsors feel the warmth that comes with giving, and parents get to know the joy of choosing that special gift for their child.
