Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau has been making Christmas for kids since 1930. Christmas is about family and friends. It is about sharing and giving. Christmas should be a happy time for everyone, especially for children. The LMCB distributes toys, clothes and food vouchers to over a 1000 low income families in Vancouver during the holiday season.
Challenge your team to a record of gifts to make kids happy on Christmas.
