Serve the City: Christmas

Each Christmas season, SBC partners with local organizations to care for the vulnerable and under resourced in our community. This year, we are partnering with Union Gospel Mission (UGM) in their efforts to support those in need throughout Greater Victoria. 

Demonstrating the love of Christ, UGM is determined to transform communities by overcoming poverty, homelessness, and addiction — one life at a time. Their Mobile Mission Van brings meals, clothing, blankets and dignifying care to those in need across Greater Victoria.

You can be a part of what UGM is doing this Christmas by filling a stocking with the suggested items listed below.  UGM’s outreach team will distribute these filled stockings to individuals in our community who could use some extra support and care this Christmas season.

Thank you for your generosity!

What to do:

1. Purchase and fill a stocking with items from the list below

2. Return the filled stocking to SBC by Sunday November 30th.

 

Suggested items:

  • Snacks (*must be peanut free)

Examples: chocolate bars*, peperoni sticks, chips, trail mix*

  • Winter Ware

Examples: a pair of gloves, socks or a toque

  • $15** Gift Card to 7/11 (**please keep to $15 limit)
