Please consider monthly pre-authorized debit.
Assistance to our neighbours is paid out regularly over the year. Our volunteer base is small and much administrative time goes into collecting, counting, recording, depositing and tracking manual donations.
​
Please consider a monthly pre-authorized debit for your donation. Monthly pre-authorized debit is easy, secure and cost effective. This method of making your donation provides us with added assurance of monthly funding throughout the year and is a huge reduction in administrative time for our volunteers. We would be so appreciative if you would consider this method.
To register for pre-authorized debit, please select the link below, complete the form and attach a copy of a VOID cheque or a PAD form from your bank.​​
