CHARITY STARTS AT HOME

$50 of each sale is donated to charity

With housing prices making home ownership difficult for the average family and the lack of affordable housing available, I recognize that there are people in the area that struggle and require support services on a daily basis.

In an effort to help, once I successfully close and complete a sale, I will donate $50 to your choice of three local charities.  If I am representing you for one side of a transaction, the entire $50 will be donated to one charity.  If I am representing both the buying and selling sides of a transaction, there will be two $25 donations made.

The three organizations that are near and dear to me are:

• The West Kootenay Woman’s Association
• Nelson Cares Society
• and the BC SPCA

I hope the donations that I make throughout the year will help the non-profit organizations have just a little bit more to contribute to those in need.

Contact Yara Chard to find out how you can help.

3 Charity Choices

Nelson Cares Society | nelsoncares.ca

“(NDCRS) may be Nelson's most diverse non profit organization. It’s been a long term catalyst (since 1974) for initiating community services and resources that respond to emerging needs. Not only has NDCRS created crucial services, but hundreds of jobs for the Nelson area and generated millions of dollars for the local economy as well. The finest products of course are the results of our project and programme work for the Community-some very visible and some simply ongoing and quietly invisible.

NDCRS sponsors a wide variety of community projects and services such as The Advocacy Centre-including Victim Services, Earth Matters, Services for Community Living-supported housing and career development, Ward Street Place (the old Anable Block) and Stepping Stones for Success emergency shelter.”
