I would donate my prize to the Union Gospel Mission again. Dan Lilly’s latest photos on his flickr page are quite heartwrenching. I would also like to think that some of the money could go towards buying a few treats for the homeless people’s canine companions )

A Loving Spoonful (www.alovingspoonful.org) provides free, nutritious meals for people with HIV/AIDS. They are also fabulous people who let me exercise my writing skills event planning chops without requiring me to give up my life.

Wow. The question is which great charity to choose. So many fantastic organizations are nonprofits, not registered charities. Hmmm, which will I pick? How about: the Pivot Legal Foundation http://www.pivotlegal.org/About/supporters3.htm which has the mandate of finding creative and effective ways of sustaining and advancing the lives of our society’s most marginalized people.

I’ve worked with Pivot in the past, both the Society and the Foundation, and they are good people doing profoundly good work on behalf of some of Canada’s most marginalized groups of citizens.

PICK ME, PICK ME!

If I were to win the eGift Card I would definitely support the United Gospel Mission. I don’t think that this awesome charity needs much more explanation, but without them I think the homeless population in the DTES would be in much more pain.
