John Howard KidStart needs your help this Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1.

Two local businesses have already stepped up to the plate to help out and you can join them. For the eighth year in a row, Healthyway Natural Foods will be participating in Giving Tuesday by matching customer donations to KidStart on Dec. 1, up to $1,000. That is a potential $2,000 donation to support local children and youth. Consider visiting Healthyway at 1121 Cedar Street on Giving Tuesday to make your donation. On that day, $5 becomes $10, $10 becomes $20, and $20 becomes $40 for KidStart. No amount is too small.

Boston Pizza will donate 15 per cent of all sales (in-restaurant, take out, and delivery) to KidStart on Giving Tuesday. Please consider eating at the restaurant with your household bubble or getting takeout from Boston Pizza on December 1!

There are currently 147 local children on the waitlist for KidStart, Campbell River’s only one-to-one mentoring program for children and youth who need a big buddy. Your donation can help The John Howard Society of North Island match more kids with a volunteer mentor. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two days where the focus is on getting great deals. Giving Tuesday is a day devoted to giving back. Help kids in Campbell River and area by giving to John Howard KidStart.

Donations can also be made online at www.jhsni.bc.ca or in person or by mail to The John Howard Society of North Island, 140 10th Ave, Campbell River, BC, V9W 4E3. Donations over $10 are eligible for a tax receipt.
