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 11: WHARF Animal Rescue!


Door 11 has been opened this morning to reveal:

WHARF Animal Rescue!  http://www.wharfrescue.ca/

WHARF is operated by two sisters who saw a need for animal rescue. They are a no-kill rescue society that operates through the help of foster families for the animals in their temporary care. All animals available for adoption can be viewed on their website; some animals are available to visit and cuddle at Food Dish Wishes, a pet food and pet supply store operated by the sisters (and their vegan restaurant, Clever Rabbit, next door) at 10724 124St.

(An aside, our family has adopted two adorable cats and one practically perfect dog, from WHARF.)

Please help WHARF continue to rescue animals, pay for veterinary bills, transportation (many animals are rescued from Mexico and flown to Edmonton,) as well as food and living supplies for the animals prior to their adoptions.

You can donate online at:  http://www.wharfrescue.ca/
