Share the Spirit Yukon 2024

Share the Spirit Yukon has grown in the last 9 years to become the biggest geographic Christmas support program in Canada covering communities across the territory. We work closely with Santa Clause and our partners to cover over 2000kms in all Yukon Communities and get our deliveries to the children & families who need it the most.

All questions can be sent to Sharethespirityukon@gmail.com

I want to Sponsor a family This Christmas (THIS WON’t BE ACTive until Nov 12th)

A key part of our program is matching donors up with families in need. Use our online sponsor form below and we will provide you with a wish-list of children in need around the Yukon. To protect their identity, you will receive information on them simply by family numbers we have assigned. At this moment, our only drop off for gifts is in Whitehorse, so other community members can sponsor, they just need to make sure the gifts make it to Whitehorse by the 12th of December.

We will be accepting purchased wishlists from our sponsors Dec 6-10 11am-3pm and again on Dec 11/12th from 1pm-8pm
