Hello Everyone!
We hope you are all doing well! We are so excited to get our 16th year of the London Basket Brigade going! Please take a look around our website where you will find information on upcoming meetings and how you can help.
Over the past 15 years we have supported over 1450+ families in the London, ON area at Christmas time with a Christmas meal, groceries and gently used toys through the Jansen Christmas toy drive.
We want to raise at least $30,000 in financial gifts to provide a Christmas dinner and baskets of groceries to each of the 225 local families in need, as identified through our association with Merrymount and the London Community. Any funds raised beyond will go to some of the agencies that support us with families with Merrymount being most prominent.
This year, in addition to financial donations through our Canada Helps website, we are once again collecting food donations from London Costco collection boxes, Metro Grocery stores on Saturday December 7th, 2024, and other direct donations from companies and various donation drop-off locations throughout the city.
For those who would like to make a gift in support please follow the link below:

The inspiration behind this project came from Anthony Robbins. His Foundation provides assistance to the homeless, elderly and
inner-city youth, and feeds more than one million people in nine countries every year through its international holiday "Basket Brigade."
We wanted to mirror Anthony’s vision and introduce the Basket Brigade in the community in which we live in, London Ontario.
"Everyone has the need to contribute. It is one of the six human needs. If you give from your heart, it will come back to you tenfold."
- Anthony Robbins
