The Spirit of Giving.

Tis the Season of Giving. Here are some great ideas to make this time of year even more special.

The Giving Tree

Changing children’s lives in Mississauga and making wishes come true.

Every year the Giving Tree goes up 3rd week of November. Young children from our neighbourhood who are in need write a letter with their wishes.

If you would like to be a help to Santa, please pass by Saints Martha and Mary Church at 1870 Burnhamthorpe Road East, Mississauga, On L4X 2S5 (905) 625-5670. You just pick up a card from the tree and sponsor the wish of a deserving child.

Random Acts of Kindness

Bring a meal to an elderly neighbor – Do you have an elderly neighbor who is alone during the holidays? Invite them over to share a meal with you. Or bring them a homemade meal. Or even bring them the ingredients for a holiday meal.

Support Local Business. Shop at locally-owned businesses – One of the easiest ways you can give back to your community is to do your holiday shopping at a locally-owned business. Purchase gifts and gift certificates.

Donate to a charity in lieu of buying a gift – This option is not only people-friendly but earth-friendly too. Gift clean water to a family in need through The Water Project. Donate seeds and livestock through Heifer International

Thank you!
