How Does The Program Work?
Beacons Furry FUNdation Society collects donated new toys, gift cards and gifts for children (babies through teenagers) in the most need in communities throughout the Thompson Okanagan. Gifts are distributed to children through our headquarters as well as our agency partners.
Whether turning 1 or 17 children a gift along with cake mix, icing and candles is given to a family or caregiver to help them celebrate a child with an upcoming birthday, of referred families.
During the holidays, we rely on generous support from individuals, companies, churches and other organizations to ensure that each child is sponsored and receives something special. Watch for our Trees of Giving popping up in your community at local businesses with a special child to buy for.
COVID-19 Impact
Beacons Furry FUNdation Society's need for Fill-a-Backpack donations has grown in it's founding year of this fund due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re adopting virtual donation options in order to provide a safe experience for all of our donors to continue to be involved in supporting children with their needed supplies. Our goal is to give children a sense of normalcy and to be on the same footing as their peers by providing them with these necessary supplies. With school ending so abruptly this past year, creating a solid foundation for the new school year is more important than ever.

Why We Do What We Do
With many children living in poverty in the Thompson Okanagan, it is no surprise that families struggle to provide holiday and birthday gifts for their children. The simple act of celebrating each and every child, despite their circumstances is what the Beacons Communities of Giving Program is all about.
Providing a gift to a child in need during celebratory life events allows them to experience the joys of childhood, give them hope for the future, as well as experiencing a sense of normalcy during a time in their life that is anything but normal.
