OREANDA-NEWS. December 02, 2015. Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is hosting its 5th annual Holiday Hamper Drive for Quest Food Exchange. Every year we encourage the YVR community to fill hampers with all the ingredients needed to make a complete holiday meal.

The hamper drive runs from November 23 to December 8. The hamper collection will take place at our celebration event on December 8 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Spirit of Haida Gwaii: the Jade Canoe (YVR, International Terminal, Departures Level 3). The celebration will include food, drinks and performances from around the world. If you bring a completed hamper, you will receive free parking for the event, a ‘T-shirts to Paradise’ T-shirt and an entry to win tickets to Brad Paisley in concert. 

For every hamper filled, YVR will donate a turkey to complete the meal. Last year we collected a record 516 hampers which helped feed hundreds of families. This year, our goal is to raise more than 600 hampers.
