Finance Advent Calendar: Day 15
On Day 15 we renew an important part of Advent and for end of year finances, so we open the box and find a kettle.
The Kettle is a sign of the Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal, and in general is a symbol of Charity. Charity is important every day of the year, but at Christmas when some people seem to think Overspending is the norm, remember there are some folks who are not as lucky as us, and maybe you need to think about them too.
Charity a cornerstone of Advent, and of living a good life.
On the finance side of things, your charitable donations are deductible for the current tax year up to December 31st, so keep that in mind too (make sure you choose a charity that is recognized by the CRA if you are going to give to get the deduction).
Ottawa Salvation Army Problems
I have read that thanks to the OC Transpo strike,the Salvation Army is having problems with their appeal, due to their volunteers being unable to get anywhere (they take the bus), so if you can give, please do give.
Another reason to hope this strike can be resolved quickly.
