One in five Canadians are using the services of charities.
The Community Foundation for Lennox & Addington (CFFLA) is encouraging residents, organizations, and businesses to make a difference close to home by donating to local causes on Giving Tuesday on December 3rd.
myFM spoke with Bob Baker, Executive Director of CFFLA.
The Community Foundation supports every type of charity in L&A. The charities supported include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Morningstar Mission, Hospice, and Sandy Pines, as well as support post-secondary scholarships and student awards for local students.
The Community Foundation has launched its own initiative during Giving Tuesday and the holiday season that encourages donations to any of its funds. This included the Friends of the Foundation Fund, which supports their mission and allows them to deliver support programs to charities in the county
Baker let us know how you can donate.
