Christmas Food Boxes 2026
Thank you for your interest in our Christmas Food and Gift program for 2026.
Families registering for the Christmas program must live within the boundaries of the Vancouver and Evergreen School Districts and are only allowed to sign up with one agency. This is NOT a change.
The Christmas program will be similar to past years.
Registrations for Christmas food boxes and gifts for children 17 and under (and 18-year-olds who are still in high school) will be taken by telephone only, beginning Monday November 2, 2026, from 1:30 – 4:30 pm, 360-694-5388.
Families will be asked to provide current information regarding family members, address, phone number, and email address.
When the list of registrations is full, callers will be informed by our phone system. Notice will also be posted on this website.
There will be no waiting list.
Food boxes and gifts will be distributed to registered families on Saturday, December 19, 2026.
In December 2025 we distributed 418 Christmas food boxes, and provided gifts for 957 children.
This program is supported by our faithful donors, the parishioners of the Catholic churches who make up our conference,
Our Lady of Lourdes,
Holy Redeemer,
St. Joseph, and
The Proto-Cathedral of St. James the Greater and our local business community, including
The Walk-and-Knock Food Drive, Airport Drayage, Grocery Outlet Orchards, Waste Connections, Pacific Coast Fresh Company,
and
Crossroads Community Church.
For this program, we serve residents living within the Vancouver and Evergreen school district boundaries only. In addition to the food boxes, children up to age 17 who are still in school also receive Christmas gifts each year through this program.
Financial donations to support this program are gratefully accepted and can be made at our Stapleton Road facility or through the four Catholic parishes that support us. You can also donate through this secure website, using the "Donate Online" link on this page.
Merry Christmas!
A Christmas Letter of Gratitude
"We wanted to sincerely say THANK YOU to all the wonderful families that have helped our family out this Christmas with a food box and presents for our two sons. You have made our two sons delighted and filled with joy this Christmas. May the Lord bless every family who donated their time and finances to bless us and make this happen. We are praying to God to continue to bless your ministry so you could impact even more people's lives.
We are also grateful for all the food donations we have received thus far, which has positively impacted our family.
Thank you for being in our community and showing God's love to everyone who comes in need.
Wishing everyone the most happiest New Year!!!"
From a family of four
