It’s that time of year! We know the snow and cold will hit most parts of the country, but we’re always in shock and awe when it does! The weather outside has definitely been frightful in our neck of the woods (Calgary), and it’s been a week of, “Baby it’s COLD outside!” followed by, “I can’t believe this weather, brrrr, we should move south!” Can you relate?
Snow ban, tow ban!
Listening to the radio advise there was a tow ban earlier this week, it was clearly a crazy blizzard. No tow trucks permitted on the road? A sure sign of bad weather! Through all of it I’m reminded to be grateful for the comfort of heat in my home. Moreover, I’m doubly blessed to have heated seats in my car and a garage to park it in.
This is the time of year when the cold becomes a matter of life or death for many. As we make preparations for our family and Christmas celebrations, some are struggling to survive the elements.
A growing trend in our over-commercialized world is donating money to a charity! Better yet? Donate on behalf of the person you’d be buying a gift for. What a great idea for those ‘hard-to-buy-for’ people in our lives!
We have many charities on our list that could benefit from your support throughout this holiday season. They in turn can make a difference in the lives they are passionate to help. Here are a few to consider as part of your Christmas list this year!
Boyle Street Community Services – Edmonton
Catholic Missions in Canada – National
Community Living Winnipeg – Winnipeg
Covenant House – Toronto
CUPS (Calgary Urban Projects Society) – Calgary
Distress Centre – Calgary
Hope Mission – Edmonton
Meals on Wheels of Frederiction – Fredericton
The Mustard Seed – Calgary/Edmonton
Project Warmth Society of Alberta
Salvation Army – Alberta
Sanctuary – Toronto
Servants Anonymous – Calgary
Do you want to reach out to any of these charities with a vehicle donation? We can help!
First, we’ll get you set up with a free tow! Once we have your vehicle donation form things hum along. So, fill in an online donation form. This is a ten minute task. Then, wait for your phone to ring (that’s the tow crew ready to set you up with your tow time). Next, watch your inbox for your tax receipt.
The process is simple, quick, free, and friendly! And every car counts for the charity you love!
That adrsdeses several of my concerns actually.
We’re glad to hear it, Melissa! It would be a privilege to work alongside you on behalf of your charity of choice.
