The postal strike, which began on November 15 , continued throughout the weeks leading up the holidays, until it was suspended on December 17 .

The Mustard Seed, an anti-homelessness non-profit, normally receives about $750,000 worth of revenue in mailed donations.

The Salvation Army reported a drop of more than 50 per cent in holiday donations due to the strike.

Canada premiers call for extension of tax credit for donations to February 28 to help charities recover fundraising opportunities from the strike.

Without extension, non-profits may have to make some difficult decisions on what services they will be able to provide in the coming year to those in need, and be forced to cut available resources.

The number of Canadians in need of those services is growing.
