Coping During the Holidays: Charitable Giving
If you’ve lost a loved one this year – especially so close to the holidays – it can be tough. As much as you wish for the return to normalcy, there will always be something missing. While you may not be able to fill the void, there are ways you can honour your departed loved one this holiday season.
In lieu of gifts, some people opt to donate to a preferred charity in memory of the person who has passed.
Here are some local York Regional and national organizations to consider:
- Canadian Cancer Society – Toronto, Peel and Southern York Region
