#GivingTuesday

Double the effort! December 2, 2025 is officially Giving Tuesday. And many charities across Canada have access to “matching donation” programs in which a large donor or organization “matches” the amount that individuals donate to a cause. So, we thought we’d front-load some of our holiday giving this year by supporting two causes dear to our hearts: The Daily Bread Food Bank & Forests Canada. [And, yes, both organizations have matching programs on this day.]

The mission of the Daily Bread Food Bank is to eliminate food insecurity and advocate for solutions to end poverty. Interested in supporting the DBFB or accessing their resources? Just visit the Daily Bread Food Bank. Choose “Donate Now” if you can provide help. Or, click “Find a Food Bank” if you need it.

Forests Canada is dedicated to making Canadian Forests and Communities Greener. They connect people, landscapes, and purpose to grow resilient forests, healthy communities, and sustainable economies. This year, they officially reached their 50 million tree milestone! Check out their amazing programs and learn how you can contribute at Forests Canada (dot) ca.

How will you give back today?
