How does someone apply for help from Christmas Exchange for a food hamper or voucher?
If you are currently a client of a social service organization such as a food bank outlet, Community Resource Centre, or receive social assistance or ODSP, or are a member of a faith community, have a child in day care or school, contact that organization and ask to be referred. You can also call 2 1 1 (not 6 1 3 first, just 2 1 1) and tell them what area of the city you live in, and they will provide you with the contact information of an organization near you that does intake for Christmas Exchange for food, as well as the Toy Centre. This referral process starts in early October.
