I applied in November. I got a confirmation email. Minutes after I applied. I heard nothing back since nov 14 after getting the registration confirmation. I emailed them the second third week of December. No reply, no nothing. I called several times and the phone just rang. On Facebook they boasted about having 1800 hampers but they made sure to disable comments.

At least, reply and say if we're accepted or not because we were hoping to get some kind of acknowledgement. It felt like we didn't matter. More importantly it felt like you all just didn't care. You show all kinds of volunteers but no one can answer the phone or return emails?

DONORS DO NOT DONATE TO THIS SCAM CHARITY. Your money will be going to new Canadians who get $68k/per year from the Feds then get to cash in on this as well while terminally ill Canadians like me have to submit tons of sensitive documents to prove we qualify, just to not get sent anything. Just like food banks, it's not real Canadians getting the food or gift certificates. I applied last year and got approved and nothing came. When I called in I was told, "too bad, not my problem." They don't care about Canadians, especially not ones with terminal illnesses.

Yes, it's pretty sad when you have to tell your kids sorry your gift cards didn't come this year, so I guess no presents for the teens. I called this place they told me oh we put them in the mail. Yep so either you guys kept them for your selfs or family and to which I hope your Christmas was good! And either Canada post stole them for themselves! Anyhow, thank you for my kids worst Christmas!

My friend placed a call in August. She never recieved any confirmation. She then called got told she hadn't been put down properly but they would still send something out. She called again before the drop off date found out they still hadnt fixed the issue but they would be there saturday. She waited all day Saturday. No call no email nothing.

I had no idea I would have to wait outside in the cold in castle downs for 3 hours and come near to hypothermia and still not get a gift card before x Mas. Total logistics failure. Kids screaming that they are freezing and ymca staff not even ushering them inside ......absolutely disgusting .then send us email saying your sorry .not good enough.

The little email they sent everyone about not picking up gift cards was all an act so that they could keep the money. They never sent the e-gift cards as the repeated emails kept saying. Still waiting after they had my hopes up. I read previous reviews that this company is a scam. I get it now...

Why are you giving to these people who do not even believe in our culture or beliefs we found the stuff they threw out the food waste and why with 2 cars 2 car parking garage a town home they do not need this stuff give it to the real families that need the food like candain families that are paying for all the free stuff
