Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots
Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots are now open in several locations around Metro Vancouver. What sets these lots apart is that they are a major annual fundraiser for Aunt Leah’s Place, which helps make a difference in the lives of foster kids, mothers, and babies.
It is estimated that half of BC foster youth will experience homelessness. Aunt Leah’s Society is perhaps the only organization providing programs and support specifically for foster youth transitioning out of government care in BC. Aunt Leah’s provides supported housing, job training, and coaching on essential life skills to foster youth before and after they “age out” of government care at age 19. Aunt Leah’s Tree Lots are the society’s biggest fundraiser each year. Last year, they raised close to $80,000 for Aunt Leah’s unique, targeted programs.

Would love the wreath to give to someone who could use a smile this Christmas season
A wreath from Aunt Leah’s has the best feelings connected with Christmas.

Oh wow, that is a totally overlooked demographic. Good for Aunt Leah’s.
Six people will be stuffed into my 400-square foot basement suite for Christmas dinner. There isn’t even room for a Charlie Brown tree. A wreath on the door would make me look like the fanciest hobo ever.
so welcoming!
Would be lovely, thanks for the chance to win. Twitter fan@plumerea

id love to hang a beautiful wreath on my front door
We are moving the week of Christmas, so all of the decorations will be packed! A wreath would bring some Christmas spirit 🙂
I’m so excited about Chrstmas just thinking about this wreath!
Our front door is sad and lonely, but a lovely Christmas wreath from Aunt Leah’s would be sure to cheer it up. Thank you very much for the giveaway!
Thanks for the giveaway Rebecca!
What a great cause!
We are not allowed full christmas trees in our building, but a wreath would give that christmas smell
What a wonderful program! And I love fresh Christmas greens! I hadn’t heard of Aunt Leah’s before – will definitely check it out for our fresh greens for decorating!
I’d love to start my xmas decorations with this…first xmas in Canada of many many more!
We heart Aunt Leah’s!
Nothing beats the smell of a real tree and wreath!
A wreath would look wonderful on my front door.

This would be so nice for a grave site I have in mind.
Fresh wreaths are the best.
Would love to give this to my Aunt & Uncle who are always hosting Christmas dinner for all of who struggle with cooking a Turkey Dinner…
What a wonderful Charity!
what an awesome giveaway and a way to spread the word! thanks so much
a fresh wreath is such a gr8 addition to the holiday decor.
So festive!
I’ve been looking all over for the perfect wreath!!
My apartment will smell so christmasy 🙂
What a great organization!
What a great initiative – would love to support them in any way I can.
Good timing for this prize as I can’t find my decoration wreath anywhere – could this be a sign?
This is where we’ve been getting our tree from the last many years. People there are always super nice (and warm, considering all those hours they spend sitting and standing in the outdoors).
Not for me, but if I were to win, I know just the family I would gift the wreath to.
Merry Christmas!
Such a great cause!
