New West invited to show giving spirit

While it may be billed as the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas is also a tough time for many community members and organizations.

Guide to Giving
Helping hand: Alisha Parks of the former Thrifty Foods in Sapperton helped out with the 2011 Be a Santa to a Senior initiative of the Seniors Services Society, one of the many organizations featured in the 2011 Guide to Giving. The Record is once again working on a Guide to Giving that will appear in December issues of the newspaper.

While it may be billed as the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas is also a tough time for many community members and organizations.

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 in need, animals and other local causes – at Christmas and throughout the year.

Launched in 1996, the Guide to Giving provides readers with ideas about how they can help out local non-profit organizations, whether it’s by donating cash or supplies or volunteering some of their time. The guide will appear in The Record in mid-December.

If your non-profit organization would like to be include in the 2014 Guide to Giving, contact reporter Theresa McManus by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5. Email her at [email protected] or call 604-444-3003.
