Each Christmas season, SBC partners with local organizations to care for women, children and families in our community who are needing a helping hand. This year, we are part of fulfilling the needs of two local organizations: 1Up Single Parent Resource Centre and Victoria Women's Transition House.
Read below about the ways these organizations are serving the under-resourced and vulnerable in our community.
1. PURCHASE PRESENTS OR GIFT CARDS:
-
On Sunday, at either of our campuses, grab a tag at the Serve the City booth. Each tag represents a woman, child or single parent. Fulfill the request on the tag by purchasing a gift or gift card.
-
Wrap your present
-
Return your wrapped present or gift card to either campus with the Name/ID# TAG attached by the relevant due date.
An idea to consider: Together as a Micro-Church, Small Group or simply a group of friends, intentionally fill the needs of an entire family.
2. SPONSOR THE CHRISTMAS GIFT:
If you would prefer for us to shop for you, you can give towards Serve the City: Christmas online.
Make sure to Change the Designation Fund to Christmas Serve the City .
Located in Royal Oak, 1Up serves over 1,800 families in the Greater Victoria community. They build stronger families and healthier children. They provide hope and the promise of a brighter future for parents and children, not just today, but well into tomorrow creating a stronger and more vibrant community in the process.
Victoria Women’s Transition House Society collaborates, advocates and educates to address and prevent intimate partner violence of women and children through supportive shelter, housing, counselling and other community-based services.
