Helping Local Families Feel the Magic of Christmas
Every year, Compassion Connections brings the spirit of Christmas to families right here in Selkirk, MB and surrounding rural communities through our Christmas Hamper Program.
We believe no family should have to choose between Christmas and necessities.
No child should wake up without warmth, food, or hope.
Our Christmas Hampers are thoughtfully created with love and care to support families facing hardship during the holiday season — offering not just food and gifts, but comfort, dignity, and connection.
What’s Inside Our Hampers
Each hamper is carefully built based on family size and need and may include:
• Holiday meals and grocery staples
• Children's gifts
• Warm winter items
• Personal care items

Every donation goes toward making each hamper meaningful — not generic.
