Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots: Wreath Giveaway

Comments 64 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots are now open in 5 locations around Metro Vancouver. These lots are a major annual fundraiser for Aunt Leah’s Place, with 100% of profits from the sale of the trees go to support the housing and training programs for foster youth and young moms.

Aunt Leah's Christmas Tree Lots

About Aunt Leah’s

Every year in BC, over 700 youth will turn 19 and “age out” of government care, forcing an abrupt end to their social, emotional, and financial supports. Quickly, these youth must secure food, housing, employment, and develop the life-skills to keep it all together. It’s an exacting standard we ask of no other young adults in our society. As a result, nearly half of these youths will experience homelessness, less than a third will graduate from secondary school, and the majority will rely on income assistance.

Last year Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots raised over $500,000. Aunt Leah’s relies on the support of the community to raise these vital funds to ensure that youth aging out of care and young moms and their babies, like Amber and her daughter, have a place to go when they need support.

Volunteers Needed

They are in need of volunteers this season and it’s easy to sign up online to support one of the 5 locations around Metro Vancouver.
