Making spirits bright: Collecting donations for local kids
Toys and cash donations can be dropped off in person this year, in support of local charities
The Alitis Team at Deerholme Farm in Duncan, BC.

“The holidays can be a joyous time, but when you don’t have enough, it can be a really hard time too. If you have to cut back on groceries or work extra hours to provide even a single gift for your child, this time of year can be really stressful. By giving to those who are less fortunate, we can create more balance in our community.”
Every year the Vancouver Island-based investment company finds ways to give back — not just during the holiday season, but year-round to the communities they serve.

“It’s a big part of our corporate values: to support the communities we live in, because they support us. Our local clients make everything we do possible. We also know that charitable giving is important to our clients. Many clients include donations to charity in their long-term estate planning.”
Drop off donations at Alitis offices
In previous years Alitis has made monetary donations, but it was important to be more hands-on this year. We are thrilled to organize a Toy Drive and have our Campbell River and Comox offices be drop-off locations. People are encouraged to donate new or gently used toys, as well as needed items such as clothing (socks, undergarments, gloves, toques), toiletries, arts and craft supplies, board games and books. These donations will help make the holidays brighter for local families and children.
“We’re excited to take this step and involve more of the staff and the community in our efforts this year,” Przada says. “We polled our staff to find out what kinds of organizations were important to them, and this year the top priority was helping children.”

“Community giving will continue to be at the forefront of what we do at Alitis.
