12 Days of Christmas Challenge

We are inviting local businesses, schools, churches, and community organizations to partner with Matthew House in providing HOPE, HOME, and FAMILY for vulnerable newcomers this Christmas. Take the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge and encourage your family, members, students, coworkers, or staff to donate one or more of the items identified. Some groups leave the choice to individuals, others seek to collect at least one of each item to "complete" the challenge. Some groups are even offering rewards for the most item/categories collected (like Bingo). Others are seeking to get as many staff/members involved as possible. However, you come at it, we want you to have FUN with this challenge and to share pictures with us that we can post on Facebook.

All items must be new and can be dropped off at Matthew House (Forest Glade) on Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 4:30pm. However, if you are bringing a large number of items at one time, we encourage you to reach out in advance so we can arrange for someone to meet you and take some pictures.

Your partnership with Matthew House on the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge will help ensure that we have the resources we need to support families who arrive in 2026.

If you would like to participate or have questions call Heidi at 519-945-7627 Ext. 3010.
