This contest has become an annual tradition, and with the amazing cause behind the social enterprise, and the joy the giveaway brings my readers, I’m pleased to present the 5th annual Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots wreath giveaway! But first, some important details:

Aunt Leah’s Christmas Tree Lots

All profits go towards preventing children in foster care from becoming homeless, and mothers in need from losing custody of their children.

Aunt Leah’s Tree Lots will open in Vancouver on November 25th, and in Burnaby, and Coquitlam on November 26th. The tree lots will be following stringent BC Health protocols including social distancing, masks, and sanitization to keep customers, volunteers, and staff safe. No online orders.

Vancouver: St. Stephen’s United Church 7025 Granville St, Vancouver
Hours: Monday-Wednesday 10:00am – 8:00pm & Thursday-Sunday 10:00am – 9:00pm

Burnaby: All Saints Anglican Church 7405 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby
Hours: Monday-Thursday 1:00pm – 8:00pm & Friday-Sunday 10:00am – 8:00pm

Coquitlam: Eagle Ridge United Church 2813 Glen Dr, Coquitlam
Hours: Monday-Thursday 1:00pm – 8:00pm & Friday-Sunday 10:00am – 8:00pm

The Aunt Leah’s Tree sales are a major source of revenue for the housing and programs Aunt Leah’s provides for vulnerable foster youth and young moms and babies. This year the need is more urgent than ever. It is estimated that 50% of BC foster youth will experience homelessness and during the pandemic young single moms have experienced even greater levels of housing and food insecurity. Aunt Leah’s has been a lifeline for these young people, providing housing, food hampers, living essentials and a supportive and compassionate adult to help them navigate these challenging times.

Aunt leah’s started selling Christmas trees in the 1990s when government funding was cut. The Christmas tree sales have increased every year and the Tree Lots have become Aunt Leah’s most successful fundraiser raising over $640,000 with 100% of the profits from tree sales going to support its programs. For many Metro Vancouver families buying an Aunt Leah’s’ Christmas tree is a cherished part of their holiday tradition.
