Why holiday cheer drive?
The Holiday Cheer Drive is the smallest in dollar terms and the most personal. December packages for the elders who raised the diaspora, the widows whose husbands' funerals the Bereavement Fund covered, and the orphanages quietly run by parishes across Warri and Sapele.
Every Region is invited to adopt a list of households. The packages are uniform — a wrapper, a tin of milk, a tin of sardines, dry goods, and a small Christmas envelope — so no household receives less than another.
The numbers that make this drive matter
- December isolation is real. Elders and widows whose family is in the diaspora often spend the season alone.
- A consistent annual gesture — the same package, the same week — builds a relationship Iwere Land remembers across decades.
- Parish networks already do this work informally; we resource it and report it.
