Windsor Communauté Nouvelles

A new study from the Fraser Institute on Canadian generosity has found that the number of Canadians donating to charity dropped to the lowest point in two decades in 2023. The Canadian public policy think tank study showed that around one-in-six Canadians — or just under 17 per cent — are making charitable donations on their tax returns.

The radio station is hosting their 22nd annual fundraiser to collect food and money to help the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP).“We can’t do this alone, we need the help of the community,” SSVP Treasurer Bernie Hamlin told CTV News.

YQGgreen is reminding the community that meaningful giving doesn’t have to mean buying new. Many of us have more winter accessories than we use: extra scarves, mittens, or toques tucked away in a drawer. Now until Tuesday, December 16, 2025 The Downtown Mission and our YQGgreen members are working together to gather gently used items to help many in need and often living outdoors.

AM800's Cans for a Cause runs on Friday from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. in the food court at Devonshire Mall. Donations can also be dropped off in the south parking lot, beside the Sydney Avenue Mall entrance.

How are Canadians feeling about buying American these days? Well, when it comes to U.S. alcohol, many are again raising a glass. But that doesn't mean their elbows are down.

A team of volunteers with Windsor Goodfellows spent the day on Wednesday packing 600 additional Christmas food boxes for the charity’s annual giveaway, because the 2,075 already assembled aren’t enough to fill demand through the New Year.
