Holiday Hellos
We invite everyone to create season's greetings for older adults living in Coquitlam. We will add them to care packages and deliver them in time for the holidays. This project was begun during the Covid lockdown, and has grown every year. Last year, with your help, we brought holiday cheer to over 750 seniors in our community.
We are delighted to support seniors in our community throughout the year through Library services and our partnerships with community organizations that serve seniors. We will be sending your Holiday Hellos to seniors that are registered customers of these services. However, if you know someone that you think would love a Holiday Hello, please contact outreach@coqlibrary.ca, opens a new window.
How to Participate
- Create a holiday greeting—it can be a card, a letter, a drawing—whatever you think would brighten someone's day! Include your first name, but please do not include your last name.
- Drop it off at our City Centre or Poirier branch, or on the Library Link.
- We will deliver it, along with a care package, in time for the holidays.
