This year, Canada Helps is launching their first annual "Giving Tuesday Canada" on Tuesday, December 3rd. A day where you support a local charity of your choice - a day to give something to agencies that are working hard to provide you, your family, friends and community with services that benefit in one way or another.
It's very easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, and Giving Tuesday is about taking a step back and thanking those charities with a donation.
Most charities will provide a charitable tax receipt for income tax purposes, although some may have a minimum donation requirement (normally found on their website).
Making a donation to the Distress Centre of Ottawa & Region on Giving Tuesday not only benefits our crisis line services, but the lives and mental health of so many individuals in our communities. Did you know that we answer 40,000 calls for help each year? This number is growing year over year, as the stigma of mental health lessens, and more people are open to speaking to someone about any issue that they are facing. Anything that is affecting your day to day coping skills is worth talking about, since it affects your own mental health in one way or another.
If everyone took $25 that they would normally spend on one of these event days, and donated it to a charity of choice, what a difference that would make for those charities!!!
Making your Giving Tuesday Canada donation to the Distress Centre is easy! Remember to have our Registered Charitable Number: 10807 9815 RR0001
