Those with volunteer non for profit jobs (Click here ^[1]) are starting to get into the holiday spirit.

The Causeway Foundation recently launched the 2011 Holiday Card Campaign, a program that aims to raise funds ^[2] for the Causeway Work Centre. Since beginning 11 years ago, the volunteer-run campaign has raised more than $100,000.

The Causeway Work Centre provides a place where people with mental health issues and other barriers to employment can go to improve their skills, receive one-on-one support ,overcome challenges, find employment, and embark on a more independent life.

This year’s cards feature six original designs from local artists in the Ottowa area. The campaign is being sponsored by: Warlyn Construction; Smith Petrie Carr & Scott Insurance Brokers; RBC Royal Bank; OnConference; Emond Harnden; Banfield Seguin; and TriCo Group.
