Christmas Gift Program 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.
For Christmas 2025, through the generosity of donors who participated in multiple local toy drives, we distributed gifts to 957 children. Many, many thanks to
The Holland Partner Group, and all those who donated to the
KPTV/Les Schwab toy drive and
KGW Great Toy Drive, as well as 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 community, including
The
KMR Foundation,
Columbia Credit Union,
and
Crossroads Community Church. We are also very grateful to the students and families from
Seton Catholic, and the many families and individuals who supported this program with gifts of time and toys. Those donations made such a positive impact on local families as they celebrated the birth of Jesus!
Many thanks to our friends at Seton Catholic College Prep High School for their energetic support during our toy distribution day. We couldn't have done it without them!
We're also very appreciative of the many gifts we received from the Les Schwab/KPTV community toy drive and KGW Great Toy Drive.
These generous members of our local community and their supporters have been so important to the work of the Society of St. Vincent dePaul at Christmas time, and we are very grateful for their help.
