Our Story
The Red Deer Christmas Bureau is a non-profit organization that was set up to help children and families in need at Christmas. Our goal is to provide families with a full Christmas meal and for the parents to be able to give their children Christmas gifts.
​
The Red Deer Christmas Bureau has been an active part of the Red Deer area for over 65 years!
​
The Red Deer Christmas Bureau is a 100% volunteer based organization. There are no paid positions, so other than our operating expenses, all monetary donations go directly to helping our clients.
​
We are always looking for volunteers and board members who are interested in making a difference in the lives of children and families in Red Deer and the surrounding communities of Red Deer County, Penhold, and Springbrook.
We, at the Red Deer Christmas Bureau, believe in sharing our culture and traditions with other members of our community. Even though some of our clients have never experienced a traditional Christmas celebration, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy fellowship, friendship, and family during the holiday season.
