This year’s Times Colonist Christmas Fund campaign reached $410,619 on Friday, with that money coming from 1,530 donors.
There is a quick way to understand why the Times Colonist sponsors the Christmas Fund every year — a quick way to see how important it is to help those who are less fortunate.
This year’s campaign reached $410,619 on Friday, with that money coming from 1,530 donors. We are on our way to reaching our goal of $1 million, but we are still looking for your support.For example, the Christmas Fund is picking up the tab for the annual Christmas feast the Mustard Seed Street Church is hosting at the Bay Street armoury today with the help of several other community-minded organizations.
There are dozens of people like Bev Elder in every community on Vancouver Island — people who have devoted countless hours to helping others. They are helping to provide food and other essentials to people in your neighbourhood. The TC Christmas Fund is committed to supporting this work throughout the Island.
No real surprises here, but the list helps to show how it’s possible to provide a lot of help by stretching dollars. Most of the money will go to food, but your donations also go to Christmas gifts for children and others who could use some light in their lives.• Donate online.
