🍰 Calling all bakers, dessert lovers & kitchen superstars! 🧁💜

Do you make an amazing cheesecake? A family-favourite pie? Cookies, cupcakes, squares or a cake that everyone asks you to bring?

We need your sweet creations! 💕

Sound Check 2026 is looking for homemade and professionally baked desserts for our Live Dessert Auction on November 7!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we’re preparing to help local families celebrate the season with food on the table, essential items and gifts for their children. 🎄❤️ Donations are now being accepted for Helping Hands’ Adopt-A-Family initiative.

Our Christmas initiatives are 100% community funded, and the number of families we can support depends on the donations we receive. Your generosity helps ease the financial pressure of the holidays, giving families more room to enjoy the moments that make Christmas special.

You can support this year’s initiative by donating online, hosting a fundraiser through your business, or adopting a family when sponsorship opportunities become available. Every contribution helps make a Christmas wish come true.

Donate here: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/macwct/

Sponsorship opportunities will be shared soon.

✨Applications for Christmas support are not yet open. Please follow our page for updates.✨

🎄 There are some important changes to Helping Hands’ Adopt-a-Family applications this Christmas.

Applications will be limited to residents of the city of Grande Prairie and families with children aged 18 and under.

We understand this will be disappointing for households in the county of Grande Prairie, where we have previously accepted applications. This decision was not made lightly. With demand continuing to grow, we need to focus our available support on our direct community.

This year, Adopt-a-Family will focus on bringing Christmas magic to children. Households without children 18 and under, including single adults, will have a separate application for Christmas dinner support.

📣 Adopt-a-Family applications will go live next week! Please keep an eye on this page, as we’ll give everyone a heads-up before applications are posted. We recommend turning on notifications for our posts so you don’t miss the announcement.

Thank you for your understanding as we work to make the most of the support available. ❄️❤️🎄

~Update on Services~

Hey GP fam!
Im sorry to announce that we have to pause service for a little bit. Transportation issues have become complicated. Of course this is the worst time of year for us to not be able to offer our service. We are trying hard to get back to functioning. Return date is TBD.
Thank you so much for ongoing support ❤️

🚗A little background: our beloved red donation-mobile was destroyed in a wee car accident back in July. We have a new one coming for early December. Very long wait. We were limping by with the use of my partners old Chevy truck. However this weekend weve encountered some engine issues that we are, as of yet, unsure are fixable. I am also a full time student with a very busy schedule.

👩‍🦽Another problem I am beginning to face is my health. I have a permanent disability. As the years have gone by its gotten worse. I am starting to really struggle picking up and carrying things. I will not be able to continue picking up and carrying bags of clothes on my own. I am going to get myself a little cart on wheels and see if that helps.

~

👩‍✈️That being said, I will be looking for opportunities to pass this project onto someone, or a group of someone's, who are passionate about keeping the momentum going and running this program into the future. I am disappointed I haven't gotten everything done with this project that I hoped but I am committed to not giving it up until I find someone wanting to take the helm.

🙏Thank you so much GP for your support. Weve done hundreds of pick ups since we started in 2024 and we are excited to keep getting textiles to the people who need them.
