Hampers of Hope 2025

Unionville Alliance Church's food bank is committed to blessing others throughout the year... but as Christmas approaches, we want to provide even more blessings to our community!

Introducing Hampers of Hope, our special Christmas food bank campaign where we deliver not just a standard hamper of food, but also all the ingredients for a Christmas feast and other seasonal bonuses.

We know the holidays can be a struggle, but we're ready to help you! Interested in applying to receive a hamper? Apply now and have your hamper ready for pickup on December 19-20.

Looking to Donate or Volunteer?

We would love to partner with you to make a difference this Christmas. There are many ways to help us out. You can find information on how you can partner with us at the bottom of the page.

Frequently Asked Questions

It functions as a "drive-thru". On the pickup day, recipients of a hamper will drive up to the doors and pop open their trunk. One of our volunteers will then load the hamper into the vehicle.

Once you have applied, you should receive notice within 48 hours as to the status of your application.

You may pick your hamper up on Friday, December 19, or Saturday, December 20. As a part of your application, you will select a time slot for when to pick it up. You must pick up your hamper at your designated hour.

Sadly, we cannot make accommodations for dietary restrictions or allergies. As all our food is provided by donations, there is no guarantee that we can meet special dietary requirements. When you register, please inform us of your dietary restrictions and food allergies, and if it is possible, we will do our best based on what is currently available.

No, we do not offer delivery services. Our resources are limited, however, if you have mobility issues (i.e. in a wheelchair, or physically incapable of leaving your home), please contact us.
