Christmas Exchange Card Campaign:
Don’t know what to get for a loved one this Christmas? Have clients to whom you wish to send Christmas cards but you just don’t have time to do it? Why not let Christmas Exchange send a card on your behalf? All you have to do is make a donation to Christmas Exchange and we will send a lovely Christmas card letting your clients or your loved one know of your generosity. The perfect Christmas gift is one that keeps on giving!

Calling all artists and want-to-be artists in the Ottawa area!

Christmas Exchange, Arc Industries and the Ottawa School of Art have united in an exciting Christmas Ornament Design Contest. This Christmas Ornament Design Contest is your chance to use your art and design skills to create an original, unique design for a Christmas ornament which may be reproduced and sold by Christmas Exchange to raise funds for families in need during the holiday season. The final product will be made of pewter, with a backing of copper that originally covered the roofs of Canada’s Parliament Buildings from 1918 to 1996.

May 9 – First Annual Mother’s Day Brunch

The First Annual Mother’s Day Brunch, in partnership with Lifetime Networks Ottawa was held at the Ron Kolbus Centre May 9. The event, hosted by local celebrity restaurateur Dave Smith, raise close to $8,000 for both charities. The over 200 guests in attendance attended were served coffee by Mayoral Candidates Alex Cullen and Jim Watson; Ottawa City Councillor Shad Qadri; local Ottawa Celeb Max Keeping from CTV Ottawa; and Yasir Naqvi, MPP. A ticket auction and two 50/50 draws also added to the festivities, as did the Shriner’s Klowns and the kids’ activity room. We would like to thank both winners of the draws who donated the proceeds to Christmas Exchange and LNO. We would also like to thank everyone that participated and we are looking forward to holding this event again next year!

Gold Drives with Recycle Frog

Christmas Exchange partnered with Recycle Frog to hold two Gold Drive Fundraisers in January and February at the City of Ottawa offices at 100 Constellation. Participants brought in their unwanted and broken gold, silver and platinum jewellery to be evaluated which they could sell to Recycle Frog at the current market price. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale was donated to Christmas Exchange by the participant with a matching donation from Recycle Frog. Thanks to all the participants and Recycle Frog, both events generated a total donation of $1207.73 to Christmas Exchange for the Food Assistance Program.
