Wibsey House Volunteering – HHCK Elves Workshop
Last week, the dedicated staff team from Restorative Social Care Services, Wibsey House, rolled up their sleeves and volunteered alongside the incredible Halifax Homeless Community Kitchen (HHCK) at the Elves Workshop hosted by Halifax YMCA. Their mission? To help bring the magic, warmth, and joy of Christmas to children and families who need it most.
This year, HHCK is supporting 112 children, ensuring every single one of them gets to experience the wonder of Christmas Eve and enjoy a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Acts of kindness like this don’t just meet practical needs—they create memories that last a lifetime.
Natalie Miller, founder of HHCK, shared her hope that every child will receive a festive hamper and a Christmas Eve box, filled with everything needed to make their Christmas “just a little bit brighter.” In a time when many families are feeling the financial strain, community efforts like this shine even brighter.
Together, the Wibsey House “elves” and volunteers created:
- Magical reindeer dust bags
- Mini fidget gift bags
- Festive hot chocolate and marshmallow cones
- Beautifully wrapped hamper boxes ready to be filled with Christmas dinner essentials
- Warm hats, scarves, gloves, and hot water bottles
These special items are now ready to be added to the children’s Christmas Eve boxes—each one made with love, care, and plenty of glitter!
The workshop was filled with laughter, Christmas music, creativity, and true community spirit. It was more than just a volunteer session; it was a morning that warmed hearts and reminded everyone of the power of coming together.
A huge thank you to all the Wibsey House elves for spreading joy, hope, and festive cheer. Your kindness will brighten Christmas for so many children and families this year. 🎄
