About The Tour

Every year, the Stouffville Christmas Home Tour takes place in early November, kicking off the holiday season. Local designers and florists team up with homeowners throughout Stouffville to decorate their homes for the holidays. Guests are welcomed into the homes to view the decor, ask questions and get inspired. A Christmas marketplace runs all weekend and the annual Friday night cocktail party is not to be missed.

The tour was started in 2011 by Rosemary Mauro as a fundraiser for The Jennifer Ashleigh Foundation. In 2014, the tour committee decided to extend its support to The Able Network. Since the tour’s inception, we’ve raised almost $500,000 for these two important children’s charities.

As of 2023, the Stouffville Christmas Home Tour has added a third local charity, The Good Food Impact! We look forward to supporting all three charities this year.

Our Charities

The Jennifer Ashleigh Children’s Charity has helped over 15,000 seriously ill children and their families with funding for hospital and household costs, specialised care, medical treatments and therapies. This charity was born and exists entirely from grassroots community funding. 

The JACC’s mission is to improve the quality of life for seriously and chronically ill children and their families. They work closely with children’s hospitals across Ontario to cover costs for children that are not covered by hospital funds, OHIP, or private insurance.

The ABLE Network is an innovative community program that provides meaningful opportunities for young adults with intellectual disabilities to engage in their community in a positive way. The ABLE vision is to inspire participants to reach their full potential through access to better living and employment. The Stouffville chapter of the ABLE Network opened in 2018. Latcham Hall provides the home base for Stouffville’s participants in the program. 

The following local businesses and organisations provide both paid and volunteer opportunities to our ABLE Network participants: Hope & Healing International, Tim Hortons, MCC Care & Share Thrift Shop, The Bottle Shed Foundation, Parkview Home Long-Term Care, Whitchurch-Stouffville Community Food Bank, Latcham Art Centre, Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library & Whitchurch-Stouffville Leisure Centre Fitness Club.

The Good Food Impact is a nonprofit organization that strives to increase access to nutritious and delicious meals for our community. Our meals are meant for anyone experiencing food insecurity or food stress to access. We believe that everyone has the right to nutritious and delicious food.
