💥For just $1 per day you can make a huge difference in the life of a neighbour who is struggling to afford food.✅A $30 monthly donation, multiplied by 100 donors, ensures that we have $3,000 in unrestricted funding each month.✅$30 will pay for one neighbour to enjoy a hot breakfast or lunch, plus unlimited coffee and tea, for an entire week.✅Monthly donations help us to fill the gas tank in our cube van, and pay a driver. Without this we would struggle to rescue and transform raw ingredients into meals, and to fill shopping bags for the growing number of food insecure who rely on us for help meeting their basic need for nutritious food.✅Monthly donors are the backbone of the Caldwell Family Centre. From $5 to $150 per month, monthly donors are the Champions of our organization.If you are not yet a monthly donor, we need your support now, while we work on projects designed to reduce poverty and increase opportunity. If you are already a monthly donor, you are a CHAMPION! Please take this opportunity to tell someone else about this life changing opportunity. Thank you! ❤️👉You can count on us in times of need. We know we can count on you! 👈Donate today! caldwellfamilycentre.ca/financial-gift/... See MoreSee Less
