Non-profits say they are worried the Canada Post strike will hurt their end-of-year revenues and jeopardize their ability to provide for Calgarians in need in the coming weeks .

Several charities say that over half of their yearly donations comes through in the weeks ramping up to the holidays, a chunk of which is delivered via mail.

To minimize delays or drops in fundraising, they have put out calls to donors and the public, encouraging them to instead donate online or by phone.

The Calgary Food Bank's appeal to 25,000 addresses is sitting in a print shop waiting to go into Canada Post as soon as the strike is over.

Staff are throwing “spaghetti at the wall” to come up with new ideas to connect with the public.

Inn From The Cold, a charity focused on family homelessness, is taking a number of approaches to mitigate the damage to their fundraising.
