Who's ready for our December National Campaign?! ๐๐
This month, we want to challenge everyone to come together and help those in need this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year itโs easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about those having a difficult time.
From elderly neighbours with no one to celebrate with to homeless families and those with disabilities struggling to just get by, reach out to someone who could use a helping hand and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Share your photos and experiences using the following hashtag so we can see what you got up to.
