Let’s Lift Some Spirits Together This Holiday Season! ✨
As the holidays approach, we’re gearing up for a tradition that’s been spreading joy for over two decades. For 25 incredible years, the staff, management, and owners of Lift Bar & Grill (and formerly Monk McQueen’s) have come together to make the holidays brighter for families across the Lower Mainland. What started as a simple idea has grown into a heartwarming tradition, and this year, we’re aiming higher than ever — providing Christmas dinners for at least 30 families in need!
These families are referred to us through the Vancouver School Board and face a variety of challenges — single parenthood, illness, recent immigration, and more. We assemble everything they need for a special Christmas dinner, from turkeys and trimmings to cookies for the kids and even cooking instructions. When donations allow, we also add grocery gift cards or toys to spread extra holiday cheer.
Here’s how you can help:
- Donate: Whether it’s $5 or $50, every dollar helps us make a difference. Donations can be made easily through our GoFundMe page.
- Volunteer: Join us on Christmas Eve Day at 10 AM at Lift to help deliver baskets. For many of our team and supporters, this has become a cherished holiday tradition — and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Despite the challenges of 2024, we’re determined to make this our best year yet. With your help, we can ensure these families feel the warmth and magic of the season.
Stay tuned for updates on logistics for Christmas Eve deliveries. Let’s come together to make this season a little brighter for those who need it most.
Thank you for your generosity, and we wish you a joyful and peaceful holiday season!
Happy Holidays from all of us at Lift!
