HAVAN’s 29th Annual Coats for Kids Campaign Brings Warmth and Joy to Families in Need

HAVAN united its members and communities for the 29th annual Coats for Kids campaign, collecting thousands of gently used coats and new toys for families in need. Running from November 5 to December 5, 2024, the campaign saw 59 HAVAN members hosting 71 drop-off locations across 17 Metro Vancouver municipalities in support of the Lower Mainland and Surrey Christmas Bureaus.

The campaign culminated in a heartwarming event at Trail Appliances Vancouver, where 200 HAVAN members gathered to deliver one enormous donation to the Christmas Bureaus. Alongside the donated coats and toys, the event raised $12,415 in cash contributions, underscoring the generosity of HAVAN’s network.

Wendy McNeil, HAVAN’s Acting CEO, expressed gratitude for the collective effort:

“The holiday season reminds us of the power of community and what we can achieve when we come together to support those in need. It’s an honour to assist the Christmas Bureaus by expanding their outreach through our members’ locations across Metro Vancouver. At HAVAN, we are committed to giving back to the communities where our members live and work.”

HAVAN extends heartfelt thanks to the campaign sponsors, whose support made this initiative possible: Trail Appliances, Best Builders, Pacific Art Stone, ALH Design Builders, FortisBC, Fisher & Paykel, KitchenAid, JennAir, Signature Kitchen Suite, My House Design Build Team, The Home Depot, Cantu Bathrooms & Hardware, Canadian Countertops, Federated Insurance, Island Glass and Mirror, Dicks Lumber and Building Supplies, POCO Building Supplies, Persaj Countertops, Designs by KS, Shakespeare Homes & Renovations, CF Interiors, Surrey Digital, and 360HomeTours.ca.
