TORONTO, Dec. 9 /CNW/ - Have you ever worn the reindeer sweater your aunt got you three years ago? Or the elf socks from your cousin? Instead of giving gifts this holiday season that wind up in the back of a drawer or in the garbage, consider gift options that will keep on giving for years to come.
One of Canada's longest-serving environment and wildlife charities, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) offers an e-gift feature that was designed to meet the needs of Canadians who want to 'give green' during the holidays or for any occasion. This eco-friendly, no-wrap required gift is available at www.tdfef.com/egift
"It truly is better to give than to receive and donating to a charity on behalf of family and friends is a gift all Canadians can feel good about," says Mary Desjardins, Executive Director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. "What better way to show someone they are important to you this holiday season than by supporting a cause that is important to them?"
Why donate to TD FEF?
Those who donate to TD FEF can rest assured their gift will be put to good use: 100 per cent of every dollar donated to TD FEF goes towards funding environment and wildlife projects in communities across Canada. Over the past 20 years, TD FEF has donated more than $53 million to fund over 19,000 grassroots initiatives from coast-to-coast.
"Whether your gift recipients are animal lovers, future scientists or nature enthusiasts, they are certain to appreciate a donation in their name to TD FEF, which will help protect and preserve Canada's environment," says Desjardins. "Not only is this e-gift a socially-responsible choice but it makes holiday shopping a breeze - one website visit and you're done."
