Christmas Crew Society

This is the most difficult message we’ve had to write since founding the Christmas Crew but unfortunately we will not be hosting our annual auction/dinner fundraiser this year.  Making this decision was a catch 22 because we know there is a great need in the community perhaps even greater than usual.  However, we also understand that businesses are struggling just to remain open.  Other than some cash donations, the auction is basically our only fundraiser so this decision was not made easily.  The consequences are real; we will most certainly not deliver our usual 300 grocery orders to under-serviced families and the families we are able to support will have to be vetted more carefully than ever before.   With that in mind please do not use our Facebook page to request assistance.

Covid-19 has made it difficult to plan anything more than a few weeks ahead which makes us fearful we could actually lose money should we have to cancel prior to our function.   Commitments to a caterer, decorator, DJ, liquor licence, hall rental, etc. all make it an actual gamble that we are just not able to take.

I am happy to report that we are still able to accept cash donations and we believe we will have a few items to auction off online. Also we have once again partnered with the Bargain Shop Glace Bay and Trans4mation Ink to secure toys.  These partnerships have made it possible for us to provide toys to 100 kids each of the last two years.   

We look forward to a return of the auction/dinner in 2021 but that does little to make the current circumstances any more palatable.
