Last year, through Special Delivery, gifts were purchased that made a positive impact in the lives of nearly 300 people across Niagara, and around the world. This year, we are hoping to see even more lives touched by your generosity.

This weekend, as you leave the service, you will receive a package and a gift suggestion that is related to your location's anchor cause. Volunteers from Southridge will hand you a bag or box (depending on your location) with gift suggestions inside so that you can take that bag, fill it and return it to the Welcome Centre any time between now and November 27. It's that easy!

If you want to honour a friend or family member this Christmas, we have Gift Cards available at the Welcome Centre, so you can write them a message, telling them that your gift to them is touching a soul for someone less fortunate this Christmas season. We've even included ideas so that you can 'Pair up your gift' by giving that special someone a creative idea that goes along with the gift you gave in their honour.

Finally, we have also included in each bag or box a 'Gifts of Compassion' gift catalog, if you're looking for a way to give to someone in the developing world as well.
