Rickyyyyyy....as an artist yourself....you'll come across people who dont like your voice or even how you dont sing certain songs for certain foro members on a certain foro night.....LOL

But if you do a Fundraiser or a Foundation support thingy.....you would want them to pitch in regardless right becuase it's for a good cause? (especially if you pocket some publicity out of it)

So my point is.........

Please refer to the MASSARI MAKES A WISH thread

Thanks!

Is there a hispanic (or non) organization where one can donate things/food/money to new Latin American immigrants? This lady I know from an organization in Durham just sent an e-mail out collecting things for two kids for a family that just recently immigrated to Canada and moved to the area. I thought that would be great to know, where we can send stuff to new families, especially the ones who come in winter.

I KNOW THAT VOCES LATINAS DOES ALOT OF THIS CHECK WITH THEM

Thanks Genie. I didn't know there were 2 Mikko warehouses. This place is great and cheap. Plus they get new inventory every wednesday.

Don't they also have one at Dufferin and Queen? I'm sure I went there a few times when I lived in the area. Was that Miko?

@ Chale: It'd have to be Ottawa, 'cause I'm closer to that than to Oakville. If not, close to scarberia would be good.

@ Princessa: Oh maaaan, sorry I forgot about that one

Here is the website for anyone who would like to contribute to the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Remember, any assistance is more than welcomed and appreciated at these organizations. If you are not able to help monetarily, time is a valuable asset which is greatly needed as well.

@ Maracuya: Please feel free to post any other organizations or causes.

@ Buffy: Where exactly are you looking for? Ottawa or Oakville? I confused

How about we insert any links to great causes in here - no perversions of course!!

@ Chale......Hey I think your thread is great !!.

I can tell you there is TONS of charities that need volunteers & would appreciate any helping hands.

I just dont think that this topic caters to the spanish community.

@ Buffster:

I know

I should have said DONKEY SEX ORGY and Im sure I would have had at least triple the views than I do now.

I dont know of any food kitchens girl, but I could help you look for one around Oakville as Im sure that they have some too.

I've heard of that organization as well. Its a great cause to help out, especially during this time when its so frigidly cold!

I'll look for something close to you and PM you the details.

TV Buff · TOP Guru

Chale, you think if you'd called the thread sex, sex, sex you would've had more luck getting people to at least respond? (let alone donate something?).

Seriously, though, where would be a good place to donate things to here in Toronto? I guess food banks would be a good place. Someone here at work sent out an e-mail last year collecting things for a house where they have teenaged pregnant girls who had nothing for their unborn babies. I thought that was a great cause. I'd also like to maybe volunteer one day in one of those community kitchens. Anyone knows of any (and please don't tell me Mississauga...) I'm thinking closer to Ottawa than Oakville.

As Christmas time approaches its time we took a step back and thought about the less fortunate, not only in our own city but all around the world. We need to realize that even with all of our problems and personal issues, there are still people out there with greater problems and a lot less fortunate then ourselves.
