December 1 through 25, a suggested charitable or non-profit donation will be made. The goal is to open doors for people, not doors for chocolate, and work on building community. Though Christmassy, this is a secular project. The only organizations with religious ties to be featured will be fully inclusive of all people. The range of organizations will be diverse and are not intended to be exhaustive suggestions; our city has too many to cover all. (So I'll do this annually to promote as many wonderful organizations as possible.)

Please consider monetary or in-kind donations for the featured organizations. I'm hoping each reader can contribute $5 per organization, per day. Please feel free to give more or to give what you can; some organizations have lists of items they need. Many are desperate for volunteers now and all year.

Please post if you have contributed in some way. I'd like to see if there is interest in a municipal charity advent calendar.

Thank you for participating!

Day 5: Hope Mission!

Hope Mission provides shelter and food to thousands of Edmontonians. Beyond the basics, it provides housing programming, camp opportunities for children, addictions treatment. Hope Mission operates from a Christian perspective and offers religious supports for those interested, but it is inclusive, accepting and supporting people from all walks of life without question or judgement.
