Every year, the Waupoos Foundation hosts ten families over the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays. As we prepare for Christmas, please consider sponsoring a family so they can experience the joy of Christmas generosity.
During the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the families receive gifts, lodging, food, Mass, and a host of activities while they visit Waupoos Farm. It is truly a touching and rewarding holiday for everyone.
We are seeking sponsors for our families. A sponsor would provide one hamper for a family. Below is a list of ideas of items to include in a hamper. Each sponsor will receive a list of the ages and number of family members who are being sponsored.

About Waupoos Family Farm
For over 40 years, low-income families with young children have been able to have an affordable vacation at the Farm in South Ottawa. Waupoos provides a family camp experience away from the pressures of daily life. Their goal is to provide a safe and welcoming community environment where families can find rest, fellowship, and hope.
The farm is supported by The Waupoos Foundation, a Christ-centered community whose mandate is to integrate prayer, work, and play into their service of families in need.
