LÉVIS, QC, July 8, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Desjardins Group is calling on its employees and the general public to donate to the Red Cross Quebec Division. You can now make a donation at any Desjardins caisse in Quebec and Ontario—simply mention "2013 Lac-Mégantic disaster".
As of tomorrow, Quebec caisse members will also be able to make a quick, simple and secure donation via AccèsD.
The Canadian Red Cross will automatically issue tax receipts for all donations of $20 or over. Tax receipts for donations of less than $20 will be issued only if requested by the donors.
