November 29, 2024

This heartwarming project has provided gifts, grocery certificates, and essential items to 412 children from 154 families throughout the division over the past decade. Last year, they supported 412 children from 154 families, bringing the total over the project’s lifetime to 3,309 children from 1,259 families.

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from our school communities and both local and regional businesses, as well as our Board of Education," said Kevin C. Garinger, Director of Education. "It is inspiring to see how our Horizon family comes together each year to make this project possible."

The generosity of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers plays a crucial role in helping us reach families during the holiday season. Donations of personal hygiene items, blankets and winter clothing (toques, mitts, scarves and socks) are graciously accepted, and tax receipts will be issued for cash donations.
