Britepaths Creates a Cheerful Winter Wonderland

The Fairfax Connection covered Britepaths’ Winter Wonderland in the December 2025 edition of their paper.

The article documents the two-day Winter Wonderland celebration for Britepaths 2025 Holiday Program, where parents selected gifts for their children in our in-house “toy shop”, browsed community resources, and received household and hygiene packs, while children made holiday crafts and chose books from The Secret Garden at Britepaths to take home. It describes how each family also received grocery gift cards as Food Security support during winter break, when many children lose access to free or reduced-price school meals. The festive atmosphere of the event was complemented by homemade lasagna from partners Lasagna Love and holiday decorations done by The Neighborhoods of EYA. The article also speaks about the generosity of volunteers and board members who wrapped gifts and supported the event.

Throughout the article, client parents share how the program helped ease financial stress during the holiday season, allowing them to prioritize limited funds toward essential expenses while still providing a joyful experience for their children.
