PIC and DACC

Plan International Canada has a bit of support in their far reaching work. Make that a lot of support! It comes in the shape of you. You and your creativity. Your resources. Even in the shape of your beloved ’98 Camry.

PIC draws donations through our Donate a Car Canada program. Your recycle or re-sale-ready vehicle will be transformed…into dollars and cents. The money resulting from its donation will keep their programs humming.

What is Plan’s plan?

Child sponsorship. Exchange letters, receiving updates on their progress and explore the opportunity to meet in person. Sponsoring an individual child is about relationship.

Gifts of Hope. Oh my goodness! If you’re looking for beautiful practicality in offering a hand up, this is your giving catalogue! From baby blankets ($17.00) to outfitting a clinic ($5,000.00), your gift is Goodness.

Because I am a Girl. “Equality will not be a reality until the world recognizes the inherent power and potential of youth – especially girls. We are on Team Girl but that does not mean we exclude boys from our work, in fact we actively engage men and boys in our efforts to advance equality. “

Plan International is clear in their mission. Visit their website and social media pages to learn more about how to be a good human in so many ways! Looking for work? You may even find your career home with them.

How your gift breaks out

Charity operating costs are no small thing. But, wow! Can a well-run crew ever stretch a Canadian dollar! We see this daily in our connection with the near 1,000 charities that we currently serve. Your charity of choice wants to help in practical, immediate, tangible ways. It’s heart work. Whether tackling enormous social justice issues, or tending a stray pup, your chosen charity cares deeply.

Plan International Canada is no different. Check out how the math breaks down with your donation dollars:

79%

 Support programs benefiting children and families.

21%

 Administration, operating and fundraising costs.

Right about now you may be at the ready to get involved. Be sure to visit PIC’s donation page for your giving options. And if we can help you clear out the driveway, give us a call: 1-877-250-4904! Or click here to fill in our donation form. Either way, ten minutes of your time will have you on the way to a free tow and generous donation!

Wisdom is never violent: where wisdom reigns there is no conflict between thinking and feeling.

But, I’m right!

Global events demand the attention of each one of us. We have strong opinions. Such firm beliefs. Furthermore, we are right! I am right. You are right. We have reasons that are good enough for us – every one of us – that to refuse to adapt, or change, or grow.

Good enough reasons to protest. Reasons that are strong enough that we won’t protest. Ideologies and understandings that demand attention. It is so very important that I be right.

For this reason, and a thousand others, we squabble with and shame and harm one another. And we each claim wisdom in the moment of heated action or argument. Equally, we argue understanding through inaction and passivity.

Is that really all there is to it?

Thomas Merton says that compassion is the acceptance of the interconnectedness of all things. So , the state of my heart is reflected in the condition of the world. This may be for peace, or for strife. It could be for goodness, or for greed. Perhaps it will be for love, but it could just as easily be for judgement.

In a wildly disrupted time (pandemic, human rights upheaval, economic disparity, and so on and on!), we have actual control over very little. Really? We have control over one thing: our Self. Who we will be. How we will be. What if your way of being has a ripple effect? What might you determine that effect to be?

For today, we here at Donate a Car Canada will continue to hold to our intention of providing exceptional donor and charity care in a wobbly world. Hands steady-at-the-scrap-car-wheel. Aiming for wisdom and compassion. And this despite our (considerable) differences of thought, belief, and certitude! We’re all in this together.

Donating a vehicle for Egale Canada and other affirming charities

Vehicle donation is simple, quick, and free! There are no costs to 2SLGBTQIA+ championing charities themselves, either. Simply fill in an online donation form and wait for a call from your supporting tow agent. They’ll set up your free tow in a timely manner. Then, your donated vehicle will be re-sold or recycled — whichever process will bring the highest donation for your charity of choice. After that it’s just a matter of time until your tax receipt lands in your inbox.

We can’t wait to work alongside you toward a country that ensures human rights and dignity for all!
