December Karma Charity: Christmas Cheer Board
The Christmas Cheer Board was started in 1919 by a number of Winnipeg churches. The original intent was to provide Christmas Hampers and toys for the widows and orphans of the soldiers lost during World War One.
In the mid forties the churches decided that everything should be brought into one organization to better look after needy families in our community.
The cheer board provides assistance to families receiving Provincial Assistance as well as many of the working poor in Winnipeg. Last year the Cheer Board distributed 18,622 Christmas Hampers complete with Turkeys along with gifts for 21,090 children. Approximately half of the food and toys are donated by individuals and companies. The balance of everything that is required is purchased by the Cheer Board. Volunteers look after all aspects of the Cheer Board and involves almost 5000 people. Hampers are packed by school children, seniors knit all year to provide little extra gifts, volunteer drivers deliver all the hampers and community groups and companies help raise the money needed.
