Christmas Assistance

Our Faith in God's love moves us to celebrate
spirituality, to care with compassion, and to
welcome all warmly.

Everyone is welcome at our church. Come and join us for fellowship, music and song, prayer and thought-provoking messages. Think about participating in one of our outreach activities. There is something for everyone at TUC.

Christmas Assistance

The Thornhill Christmas Assistance Program (CAP) is sponsored by our local Thornhill Ministerial Association and provides for needy families in Thornhill. Thornhill United Church hosts and provides the administration for this program. We are grateful to all who donate to this cause.

Applications are coordinated with other agencies in the region to prevent duplication of our efforts, and people from other areas are referred to similar programs close to them. Schools and churches collect gifts in November and December, and deliver them to Thornhill United Church to create the Christmas gift envelopes.  The receiving families are not all Christians – but are in financial need, and surrounded by a culture of holiday consumption.


In 2022, the program distributed Christmas gifts to 132 families: providing gift cards to 112 families in our Thornhill community, and to 20 families at Yellow Brick House.  In total, we provided assistance to 370 people – 231 adults and 139 children and teens.


Thank you to each of you who contributed to this important initiative.
