Holiday Baskets for Burbank Coordinating Council

It’s that time of year again where we reach out to you, our community, to help us support the Burbank Coordinating Council with their Holiday Basket Program.

We need your support, especially now with COVID impacting the Burbank Coordinating Council’s ability to raise funds and collect donations.

Each year the BCC gives out over 500 holiday baskets to Burbank’s Low income families and this year with COVID affecting so many of our community member’s ability to work and support their family we think even more people will be in need this holiday season.

We are asking for you to contact us to donate a gift card, food items or gift items. We will gladly receive it and use it toward the families we are adopting this season.
If you’d like to donate food items and gifts we’ve attached the suggested items for donation.
