VOLUNTEERING TO PAINT DONATION BOXES
THE EDMONTON CHRISTMAS BUREAU PROMOTES THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS CARING AND SHARING . THEIR MANDATE IS TO PROVIDE A FESTIVE MEAL AND COORDINATION OF CHRISTMAS GIVING TO EDMONTONIANS IN NEED. SO WHEN MY FRIEND, CATHY HARVEY, HEARD THAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ARTISTS TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME BY PAINTING DONATION BOXES WE DECIDED TO HELP OUT.
THE BUREAU BELIEVES THAT ONE ACT OF KINDNESS CAN IMPACT SOMEONE FOR A LIFETIME. THEY ALSO BELIEVE :
ALL PERSONS IN NEED SHOULD BE TREATED WITH UTMOST DIGNITY, RESPECT, COURTESY AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
THAT PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO A PERSON IN NEED SHOULD BE CHARITABLE-NOT DISPARAGING, DISCONSOLATE, OR PUNITIVE.
THAT PROVIDING ASSISTANCE SHOULD BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD STEWARDSHIP PRINCIPLES.
THAT THEIR GROUP WILL TRY THEIR BEST TO PURSUE AND DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS IN THE COMMUNITY.
I AM REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE EDMONTON CHRISTMAS BUREAU. CHECK THEM OUT. MAYBE YOU CAN HELP SOMEONE IN NEED THIS CHRISTMAS TOO. (OR ANY DAY…. IN YOUR CITY). LET’S TRY AND HAVE ‘CHRISTMAS IN OUR HEARTS’ ALL YEAR LONG.
