Dear Friends,
I pleased to announce that Cecil Community Centre's Annual Giving Tuesday: Winter Warmth Campaign for 2025 has officially launched.
Our goal this year is $3,000, and as of 4:18 pm Monday, December 1st, we have raised more than one third of this.
I understand that everyone has been hit by the cost-of-living crisis, so we understand if you or yours need to pass, but if you chose to give this is what your gift will do:
$10.00 gives a neighbour a pair of warm socks, and gloves
$25.00 provides nutritious snacks, and water for a week
$50.00 supports volunteer opportunities, and social-recreational activities that reduce loneliness, and social isolation for those who are unhoused or precariously housed.
$100.00 sustains our work to alleviate the root causes of poverty.
The link to our crowd funding site is here: https://give.charityvillage.com/52eXd9, and if you need a tax receipt the link to our donation portal is here: https://share.google/4bT3oh8jNd7cfkafe.
Please feel free to share this campaign with your family, friends, and others. Thank you for considering helping Cecil to remain a place of connection, community, and care.
Warmly,
Beryl Tsang, Cecil Community Centre's Winter Warmth Elf, Chanuaka Cookie Baker & Winter Solstice Witch
