How to Donate
WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU
Pelham Cares Inc. relies on the on- going support of our community to enable us to provide food for the hungry along with our other services.
There are a number of ways individuals, groups and businesses can contribute:
- Donate Money
- Run a Food/Fund Drive
- Donate Food Items
Donate Money
There are many ways to make a financial contribution. All donations of $10.00 or more will receive a tax receipt.
●To donate online, please use the secure online donation site hosted by Canadahelps.org. Canada Helps allows charities, such as Pelham Cares Inc., to receive online credit card donations by facilitating the donation process. They provide a safe, secure environment for donors to make a contribution. Once the donation is made online, a tax receipt is generated electronically and emailed to you. Your donation is then sent to Pelham Cares Inc., less an administrative fee that Canada Helps is charged by the credit card company for processing.
●If you would like to donate by cheque, please make it payable to Pelham Cares Inc. and mail to our address
●Monthly giving is available online through Canadahelps.org
Run a Food/Fund Drive

An Important message to our supporters
Pelham Cares Inc. places a high value on our relationship with you, our donors. Without your support we would not be able to achieve our mission to help residents of Pelham maintain their health, independence and community involvement. We thank you for your commitment to us.
We believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. With this in mind, we have recently joined Imagine
The Ethical Fundraising and Financial Accountability Code lays out a set of standards for charitable organizations to manage and report their financial affairs responsibly. By adhering to these standards, we are complying with generally accepted practices for soliciting and managing donor dollars. This is important because you, our supporters, are entitled to transparency and the greatest impact possible for your investment in us.
If you have any questions about our adherence to the Ethical Code, please feel free to contact our office at 905 892- 5300, or download a copy of our financial statements. You can also download the Ethical Code itself by going to Imagine Canada
