Giftmas 2019

It is that time of year again when days and weeks just seem to fly by even though you have about a million things to do.

And yet, today I'd ask you to slow down just a little, maybe actually enjoy this time of eggnog (here's a vegan version for you) and stories and people coming together to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of a new one. Many of you reading this will have ever wondered where you might sleep tonight, whether you'll be safe, let alone comfortable and warm. I don't want to make you feel guilty about that, but I do want to give you a way to give people less fortunate than yourself one less worry: I want to ask you to give someone a meal.

Each year, Rhonda Parrish organizes this Fundraiser to help the Edmonton Food Bank provide meals for people that need it. If you can, donate. Why? Because

$1 buys 3 meals 

and that's Canadian, so if you're hailing from elsewhere, you might be able to give even more with just a very small donation. So do it. It's one buck. You're used to paying more for coffee.

There's also a Snowman Drawing Contest that goes hand in hand with the Fundraiser (and I'm sure you can do better than me) and a Rafflecopter. So take a few moments in this busiest of seasons. It will make a huge difference for someone, I promise you.

Thank you for donating!
