Ways to give the Gift of Sight this holiday season

After a month-long strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Canada Post operations have resumed. We can once again receive donations and Gift of Sight order forms by mail; however, please expect significant delays.

Once we have received the mail, we will process donations and greeting card orders within two business days, but we cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas. We encourage you to donate online or call us (toll-free: 1-800-585-8265) to order greeting cards. We’ve outlined the various giving options below.

Please note that our Calgary office will close for the holidays starting at noon on December 24, 2024. We will reopen on January 2, 2025.

THANK YOU for your ongoing support of our mission to prevent blindness and restore sight. Happy Holidays!
