Kai Manga Christmas Hampers

This Christmas, we have the opportunity to bless our community through the Kai Manga Christmas Hampers. 

You can get involved in two simple ways:
  Fill a bag: You’ll find brown paper bags with a Christmas shopping list attached in the BBC foyer. Take one, fill it with the listed grocery items, and return it to BBC by Sunday 30 November. Each hamper provides a tangible gift of love and support to local families in need this Christmas.

 Volunteer to pack hampers: Come and help us assemble the hampers on Thursday 4 December, 9:30am – 12:00pm It’s a great way to serve together and share the joy of giving this Christmas.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
