Every year, hundreds of local families are supported during the holiday season as part of the Christmas Bureau program from the Archway Food Bank. This year is no different, with more than 1,500 children, 600 teens, and 230 seniors planning to take advantage of the Christmas Bureau in December. In order to make it even easier to help support these individuals, the Archway Food Bank has created a way to get gifts into the hands of those who need them this holiday season without having to even leave the house.

The group recently launched an Amazon wishlist, which contains a wide variety of presents that are suitable for those signed up to receive assistance from the Christmas Bureau program. Anyone who wants to donate a gift to the program can and purchase any of the items, which will deliver the presents directly to Archway Food Bank. Alternatively, the listed gift ideas can also be purchased at local retailers and then dropped off at the food bank (33914 Essendene Ave.
