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
I wish to Help Share the Spirit Yukon Financially
While the Whitehorse Firefighters Charitable Society works hard year round to raise funds for Share the Spirit Yukon, we still very much depend on the generosity of individual monetary donations. This allows us to not only continue our gift of Christmas to some of the most vulnerable living in the Yukon, but also allows it to grow. Our goal is to, one day, make sure no Yukon child is left wanting during the holiday season. We can get there, together! The last five years has seen an increase in need and a decrease in donations. We wish to keep helping, but can’t without assistance. Below you can make an online donation complete with a taxable receipt. However if you wish, you can also mail us a donation at
