QJS is organizing our annual event called “Christmas in October” in partnership with Operation Christmas Child (OCC). OCC, a project of Samaritan’s Purse. Our partnership brings joy and hope into the lives of less fortunate children around the world, through gift-filled shoe boxes.
Every year, for the last 16 years, QJS has donated over 200 Christmas boxes through OCC to children that otherwise would receive nothing for Christmas. This is done in lieu of corporate gifts and has been a team effort with all our employees.
We are extending an invitation to, clients, local residents, local business community, friends and family to celebrate and help us reach our goal of 200 Christmas boxes
Guests will have an opportunity to help pack boxes while enjoying other activities at the farm. This is a FREE- to attend event but we hope you can participate by bringing shoe box toys and items for the boxes.
For a full list of items that can be included in the boxes, please check: https://www.samaritanspurse.ca/pack-a-shoebox/
We will have lots of activities for the whole family: BBQ, children activities, hay rides, horse activities, crafts, face painting etc.
We are also in need of volunteers and items for our silent auction. If you can help you can contact Cecilia at the above number
