An update on the Canada Post strike

For incoming mail:

  • For those who donate or sponsor with cheques – All cheques with the date on or before December 31, 2024, will be attributed to the 2024 tax year, even if they do not arrive until 2025. The cheques must be dated for this to apply.
  • For those who wish to send a Christmas card/letter to their sponsored friend – We will send any correspondence on to the sites with our next scheduled shipments, most of which are not affected by the strike. Your sponsored friend will not mind if your Christmas greeting is belated!

For outgoing mail:

  • We know that many of you are eagerly awaiting your Christmas card packs, gift catalogue cards, and annual Christmastime correspondence from your sponsored friends. We will send these out as soon as the strike resolves.

How you can support us:

  • Online donations are always available, and the gift catalogue has an option to send e-cards.
  • You can call us toll-free at 1-800-776-6855 make your donation with one of our staff.

We are all praying for a swift resolution to the strike. May God continue to bless our sponsored friends and all those who rely on charitable hearts, as Christ did in Bethlehem.
