It may be the most wonderful time of year for many folks, but for many others Christmas is a time of great need.
Each December, the Record compiles a Guide to Giving to inform folks about the needs of various non-profit groups in the city that are helping people, animals and other local causes.
Many local groups helping those in need at Christmas and throughout the year rely on community support, whether it’s donations of cash or specific items or volunteer hours.
Launched in 1996, the Guide to Giving provides readers with ideas about how they can help out local non-profit organizations. The guide will appear in the Record once again this year in mid-December.
Every year, people in New Westminster show their hearts with an outpouring of support for those in need – so be sure to get your group’s information included.
If your non-profit organization would like to be included, email your group’s Christmas wishlist, a few details about your organization and contact information to reporter Theresa McManus by 10 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 7.
You can email her at [email protected] or call her at 604-444-3003.
