Pledge Day is our opportunity to take a break from demanding Government to do something, and get back to being part of a community that finds a way to solve problems ourselves. Every little bit helps, and Pledge Day sends a message to those suffering serious challenges they aren’t in this alone. Go ahead, pick up the phone, caring about others is the best part of Christmas.
