Christmas
Exchange is a non-religiously affiliated charity that provides food vouchers
and food hampers to families and individuals in need during the December
holiday season. The charity also manages a centralized database registry
to ensure that no family or child is overlooked, helps avoid duplication of
service, and is used to refer families to the Salvation Army Toy Centre.
