Give Where You Live this GivingTuesday
Tuesday, December 3rd is GivingTuesday across the country. We want to encourage everyone in our community to “Give Where You Live” by donating to local charities, volunteering your time or helping out your neighbours.
It can be hard to know where to start, so we have put together a list of local charities that are inviting support on GivingTuesday and throughout the holiday season.
Our community is known for its caring and generosity. Please give what you can and however you can during this time of increasing need. Every gift counts!
