Day 2 – “Home for Dinner” program at The Ronald McDonald House

One of our favourite ways to volunteer is through the Home for Dinner program. This year, as they aren’t able to have volunteers into the house to cook dinner for their families, they are taking cash donations in order to purchase a meal from a local restaurant every evening.

As part of the annual The Place To Mortgage RACK’D Campaign, we made a cash donation in the amount equivalent to what we would have spent on groceries.

If you’d like to contribute along side us, feel free to donate directly by calling 403.340.2007 or go online @ https://www.rmhccanada.ca/donate 🎄

Day 20 
Amazing things happen when amazing people gather 💗. This morning a group of us met for breakfast under one condition. The price of entry was a brown back or a red back (or 2). The idea being we would then pay the bill and leave the remaining as a tip. 💰 Well, the universe delivered us the kindest and most deserving waitress and we were able to spread kindness by leaving her over a $800 tip 💥. The world is a beautiful place when kindness is spreading. 💕

Day 10 – Coats For Kids

👏🏼 Thank you to everyone who brought in children’s coats for, coats for kids. We hope these donations will help keep a few more children warm this winter season.

Helping A Family In Need

A week and a half ago a local family had their vehicle stolen from in front of their house. To make matters worse their daughter’s wheelchair was in the back of the vehicle along with their son’s whole hockey bag. Fortunately, the vehicle was found a week later with the wheelchair still in it. Our generous community came together to help replace the hockey equipment. The Place To Mortgage team all donated money towards a new hockey stick, tape, wax, water bottle and a gift card. It really was a wonderful moment when the family come into the office and we were able to put a huge smile on the young boy’s face and tears in mom’s eyes.

This wonderful human has been following along with our RACK’D campaign and wanted to contribute. We are so grateful that what we are doing here at The Place To Mortgage is spreading. Our random acts of kindness bring so much joy to us, we hope others are feeling the same joy.
