Facilitating transport and travel<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&#8211; Charitable organizations often use Air Miles to cover travel expenses for volunteers and employees.<br \/>\r\n&#8211; This reduces our operational costs and allows us to devote more resources to our programs.<br \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>2. In-kind support<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&#8211; If you can&#8217;t make a monetary or material donation, your unused Air Miles can still make a tangible impact for a cause close to your heart.<br \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Reduce waste<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&#8211; Air Miles often expire if not used. By donating them, you put them to good use for a good cause, instead of wasting them.<br \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Minimal impact on your finances<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&#8211; Unlike cash donations, giving Air Miles has no direct impact on your budget, but can still make a significant contribution.<br \/>\r\nIt&#8217;s a simple but powerful way to help organizations reach their goals and make a difference.\r\n<p><strong>Do you have your card yet?<\/strong> If not fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/mercyships.ca\/contact\/\">form on our contact page<\/a> or call our office toll free 1-866-900-7447 and we will put one in the mail.<\/p>\r\n<p>The simple act of swiping a card, when done by many, has brought hope and healing to so many people.<\/p>\r\n<h2>\r\n\t\t Thank you to all those who swipe!\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to help by collecting Air Miles From time to time throughout the year Mercy Ships Canada&#8217;s members have to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4878,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"Mercy Ships Canada is able to exist only because of our supporters.
