With the Canada Post strike entering its third week, Maximum Express Courier and Freight is offering free delivery services for cheques from donors to charitable organizations.

With the Canada Post strike dragging on toward a third week, a local courier company is stepping up to deliver cheques to charities and non-profits at a critical time of the year.

“The community has been so good to us over our 20 years and this is an opportunity for us to give back to the community that has supported us.” Avery Brohman, chief executive of the Victoria Hospitals Foundation, said the postal strike is challenging for the foundation — and all charities — because a large number of donations usually roll in at this time of year. People typically make decisions to donate closer to year end for financial planning and tax benefits, she said.

Although most charities have online portals for credit-card donations, Brohman said many donors still prefer to send a cheque in the mail. “We have a certain demographic that prefers the cheque and envelope to make their contribution,” she said. “They may not feel comfortable online.Brohman says Hasham’s efforts are “like a Christmas miracle” for charitable organizations in the region. “He’s really a community champion and we are so grateful,” she said.

“It’s a great thing for Al to do,” said Times Colonist publisher and editor Dave Obee. “This is a critical time for fundraising, and local charities cannot afford to lose money because of the strike.”Obee said Maximum Express Courier’s efforts are especially important as Giving Tuesday approaches next week. The global effort on Dec. 3 sees millions of dollars donated for worthwhile causes.
