Calgary Sun broke this out yesterday…Link
And this year isn’t unique…
My wife and myself started doing our food drives about 6 years ago for this specific reason…and while we’ve had a few causes to focus on over the last few years, including support for our family, we’ve worked to try and continue on with our efforts.
For us, it’s always been more than just shooting over a $20 with a mouse click or dropping a few bucks when picking up a poppy…and it’s not that we try to compare our efforts to others and what they have to give…it’s just something we do.
This year, I’d committed to making a donation and through your help, we’re going to hopefully double what my budget would have afforded me to give.
For this year, today will be the last day of my efforts committed to the Veteran’s Food Bank and if you’d like to throw in a couple of bucks to help bring me over the edge…you can find the link to my Veterans Hamper fund → Link
Increase the quantity to add in $5 increments…100% of this, plus an additional $200 of my own money is going to use to match donations and help top up a basket. Funds from other items listed on the site will help me make my minimum $500 commitment.
If you have more that you want to do, you can visit the Veterans Food Bank of Calgary →Link, for a tax receipt on your donations.
And I’m happy that a lot of you have joined me in my campaign and hopefully raising a little more awareness.
I know things are lean this year…inflation, gas, groceries…
The snow is a great reminder that we are coming into Christmas…
I’d never want to take from your table and offer to others…but if you have the ability to lend a hand or have already lent one…my gratitude goes out to you.
As for our Dear Leader - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau…he’s got other plans and other priorities for tomorrow…He’s got a summit to attend in Cambodia:
My Grandpa was a WW2 vet. He lived to age 89. He would have been so upset to see veterans and their families going hungry under the JT regime.
Praying that donations come pouring in for Canadian Veterans. (Maybe some of the politicians and executives who got massive "pandemic raises" perhaps??)
This is absolutely wrong, Men and Women are fighting in wars that politicians start and when they come home they get nothing so let the politicians that start these wars get up off their asses and pick up a gun and go fight the fucking wars yourselves. Turd douche can go and spend $6,000.00 per night to stay in England for the corrupt queens funeral on our tax grab and then the next week it comes out that he paid $12,000.00 for a months groceries and the veterans get fuck all.. The veterans deserve so much more and get treated like trash. So sick of this liberal government and all governments for that matter so it is time to get rid of all governments let the people keep what they earn and live a much better life than we are living now and the Veterans deserve to be able to eat a decent mean and have a warm home to live in. Throw Turd douche out on his ass and let his survive he can use his black face and dress up as a queer and survive. He has to go!!!!!!!!!
