The Salvation Army Introduces "25% Donation Discount" in Response to U.S. Tariffs on Canadian Goods
TORONTO, Feb. 3, 2025 /CNW/ - As Canada braces for the economic impact of U.S. tariffs, The Salvation Army is launching an urgent appeal to help those most vulnerable to rising costs. With a 25% tariff now in effect on Canadian goods, The Salvation Army is introducing a way for donors to support their fellow Canadians without additional financial strain.
In these challenging times, donations will be needed more than ever. However, The Salvation Army understands that these tariffs will hit everyone hard – including our generous donors.
"These tariffs will make life harder for everyone, but especially for those already struggling to meet basic needs," said Lt.-Colonel John Murray, Territorial Secretary for Communications, The Salvation Army. "We can't ask for more, so we're asking for less."
The Salvation Army is introducing a 25% Donation Discount – so you can donate a little less than usual and still make a big difference. We hope this helps more people continue giving without taking away from themselves.
As the cost of living rises, more Canadians will turn to The Salvation Army for food, shelter, and essential services. Even smaller donations will make a meaningful impact, ensuring that no one is left behind during these challenging times.
We are there for Canadians.
Please donate today. Even if it's less.
