This Holiday Season- Be a Helping Hand
Since 2007, Squamish Helping Hands Society has been supporting those most in need in our community. The holidays are a great time to both have fund and to make everyone’s life a little bit brighter. Here are some easy ways that you can lend a helping hand.
GIVE A GIFT
Everyone deserves a special gift to open on Christmas morning. Putting together a gift box is a fun and easy way to share your holiday spirit. Make this a team activity by getting your family, friends, workplace or school involved.
Now the fun part—shopping! Put together a box of items that you think will be appreciated (shoebox size is perfect), wrap it, label it male, female or unisex.
Drop off your shoebox gifts before December 21, 2022:
Under One Roof
37871 Third Avenue
