THIS YEAR YOUR DONATION WILL GO TWICE AS FAR
OUR 2017 CHRISTMAS CARE PACKAGE DRIVE IS HERE
For the 11th year in a row, we are collecting donations and putting together holiday care packages for families in need across the Lower Mainland.
In support of single mother-led families and children in need. Capital Direct has generously agreed to match your donation* meaning that it will go twice as far.
An empty cupboard can be common, and especially difficult during the holidays for single mother families, and your donations can help make a family’s holiday season a little brighter.
Capital Direct will double your donation to the families!*
ON DECEMBER 12TH, WE HOPE TO STUFF AND DELIVER 825 CARE PACKAGES TO 27 FRONTLINE ORGANISATIONS
• YWCA - Alder Gardens

“It wasn't that long ago, that I suddenly became a single mom where my unhealthy marriage broke down at the worst time (while I was temporarily unemployed), and was in the thick of money issues. I received a Cause We Care Christmas bag a few Chirstmas' ago from a North Shore Single Moms group I was a part of. I will never forget your generosity to not just me, but to the other Single Moms (& children) who had it much worse than I did resource & career-wise. It was truly incredible.”
Capital Direct will match every dollar donated*, doubling your gift for the families.
