What is Giving Tuesday?

“GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, taking place each year after Black Friday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” it’s a time when charities, companies and individuals join together and rally for favourite causes. In the same way that retailers take part in Black Friday, the giving community comes together for GivingTuesday.” https://givingtuesday.ca/about

Telecare and Giving Tuesday

This year, we want to encourage you to support organizations that are providing aid to flood victims in Southern BC. As we speak, flooding is happening in Southern BC in and around Abbotsford where many of Telecare’s supporters and callers live. 

CanadaHelps and Giving Tuesday

Canada Helps is the online platform that Telecare uses for donations. They provide a safe and secure platform for donations and make sure that organizations are legitimate non-profits. For today only they will add $2 to any donation of $20 or more.

CanadaHelps also has a list of organizations that are providing relief for the flooding in British Columbia. You can see their list here https://www.canadahelps.org/en/donate-to-bc-flooding-relief-efforts/
