COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Christmas Exchange of Ottawa-Carleton
Description:
In 2007 the Christmas Exchange provided direct food assistance in the form of a food voucher or hamper, to 23,793 people in 8,604 families, including 10,967 children and 1,883 seniors. We also coordinated assistance for an additional 3,528 families for food, and 11,305 children for toys. The duplication check done through our centralized database found 2,539 duplicate names for food, saving the community approximately $190,425 (based on the average assistance of $75 per family), and 3,589 duplicate names for toys, saving a further $538,350 (based on estimated cost of $150 per child).
