Siloam Mission asking for personalized Christmas gifts for those in need

WINNIPEG — Siloam Mission is asking Winnipeggers to get into the holiday spirit and donate a special gift for someone in need.

It’s called the Homeless Partners Christmas Wish List program and the goal is to fulfill 272 Christmas gift wishes for 101 Siloam Mission clients.

The website has personal stories of people experiencing homelessness in Winnipeg. It also has a Christmas list of items they are wishing for, such as warm gloves, a transit bus pass and an extra large teddy bear.

“For many of our clients it has been years since they have received a gift for Christmas,” Amy Reinink with Siloam Mission said. “This program has given them the opportunity to feel cared for and valued in a tangible way.”

If you would like to donate, you can head to the website to pledge a gift online. You have until Dec. 20 to deliver the gifts to  Siloam Mission at 300 Princess St. Organizers are also encouraging people to wrap the gift and write a personal holiday note.
