HOW YOU CAN HELP

 

Many Ways

There are many ways to consider when making your generous donation:

Christmas Sharing Program

  • Christmas - a time of wonder and joy.

    Each year OCBITA Community Services provides Christmas hampers to more than 200 low-income Toronto families struggling to make ends meet. And every year during the holiday season, we offer a uniquely personalized way for you to reach out to families in need.

  • Monthly Gift Giving
  • Leave a Legacy / Planned Gift
  • Donate a Product
  • Organize an Event
  • Gifts of Stock
                                      

We see it again and again when our generous donors "adopt a family" at Christmas. As one recipient told us, with her extremely limited budget, "There’s nothing extra for toys, and kids are constantly in need of things like clothes and winter boots… Christmas is no different."

Adopt a family

  • You can help make Christmas special this year by adopting a family in need.
  • Moorelands will provide you with the first names, ages and interests of the children, along with some suggestions of items you may wish to include.
  • All we ask is that you take some time to prepare a list and head out on a magnificent shopping excursion on behalf of the family you are matched with.
  • When you have finished, box up the items and bring them into the Moorelands office - we’ll take care of distributing them to your adopted family.

Make a financial contribution

  • This year we hope to distribute more than 200 Christmas hampers to families in need. It costs about $360 to prepare a hamper for a family of four.

PARTNER: Support  Education and Boost Your Sales!!! Independent Merchant Opportunity. 

 

WHAT PARTNERS DO:

Help parents to save money for their children’s college or university education.

 

HOW IT WORKS:

 

OCBITA members simply buy (from our Partner companies) the groceries, products and services they use every day and earn education savings.

You make an offer of Education Rewards to our members in exchange for them buying your product or service. If they buy, you pay them a pre-determined contribution (any % you choose, +/- equivalent of GST or PST) into their OCBITA Education Savings Account and get an official receipt for a donation to charity.

There is no up-front cost! You pay only for the customers we deliver to you!

 

Almost 90% of consumers “strongly agree” they will switch stores and brands and they would purchase goods from companies that help them save for education.

Your participation costs in the program are directly related to the sales they generate and your customer gets the benefit of their Education Rewards automatically. Think about and compare. Is your advertising cost directly related to the sales? Can you figure out exactly how many customers it brought to your business and how much they spend because of your advertising?

With OCBITA, you don't just get a response, you're guaranteed a customer!

 

BECOME A PARTNER:    Why should your company become an OCBITA Partner?  

Think about it for a moment; how else could you build more loyal, long-term and lasting relationships with consumers than by helping them send a child they care about to college or university?
