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!

Door 10! Boyle McCauley Health Centre


Door 10 has been opened this morning to reveal:

Boyle-McCauley Health Centre  http://www.bmhc.net/

BMHC's goal is to focus on complex health needs of vulnerable inner city people by providing varied and flexible primary health care and health promotion services. People who may not be eligible for Alberta Health Services can get medical care at BMHC. It is the ONLY community-owned health centre in Edmonton. Last year, it provided over 100 000 separate needs for health support.
For many BMHC clients, there is nowhere else to turn for primary and critical health care.

Please support vulnerable people access health care in Edmonton by making a donation today:
