Providing food boxes to families at Christmas is a favorite yearly tradition. Approximately 400 boxes are distributed every year, usually on the Saturday before Christmas. In addition to the food boxes, over 1350 children also receive Christmas gifts each year through this program. In 2018, we prepared 417 Christmas food boxes, serving over 1400 people with 18,502 pounds of food. 

Donations to support this program are gratefully accepted! Non-perishable foods and cash can be donated at our Stapleton Road facility or through the parishes.

We serve residents living within the Vancouver and Evergreen school district boundaries. To register for a food box, families must call our office (360-694-5388). For 2019, we will begin to accept registrations for food boxes on Monday, December 2. Boxes will be ready for pick up on Saturday, December 21.
