Make a one-time or recurring monthly Donation. Cash donations towards the Christmas Bureau allows us to allocate more funds toward purchasing additional toys, which are often in short supply. For example, last year we experiences a low inventory of sports balls and had to purchase more to meet the demand.

There are three ways to make a donation*:

1. Donate online here.
2. Mail or drop off a cheque payable to Burnaby Community Services at 2055 Rosser Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5C 0H1.
3. Call 604-299-5778 and provide your credit card details by phone.

* We provide tax receipts to donations of $15 or more.
