We’re still feeling the warmth from yesterday morning’s Christmas Wish Breakfast. Our community showed up with so much heart — and because of you, 1560+ toys were collected along with funds that exceeded last year- all going towards supporting local children, youth, and families. Your generosity is truly incredible.
Whether you joined us for breakfast, dropped off a toy, contributed financially, or helped spread the word, thank you. Every act of kindness made a difference.

A heartfelt thank-you as well to our amazing partners — Boston Pizza Williams Lake, Goat FM, and Today’s Best Country Cariboo Country — for their ongoing support in making this event possible year after year.

We’ve put together a short video slideshow of yesterday’s celebration so you can revisit some of the smiles, moments, and holiday magic. This is just a small glimpse of how much community spirit we enjoyed.❤️

Our work to support children, youth, and families across the Cariboo Chilcotin simply wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for standing with us and helping create brighter holidays for so many.

Thank you to all who attended and gave so generously, and to our partners, Boston Pizza Williams Lake, the Goat FM and Today's Best Country, Cariboo Country...we couldn't serve the children, youth and families of our region without your ongoing support. In total, 936 meals were enjoyed and the toys and donations we are still counting - our deepest gratitude to you all. ❤️
