People like to read interesting stories.

We tell stories about poverty and hunger. And, sometimes, we even tell stories that put smiles on people’s faces.for non-profits using direct mail. Many think of it as “junk mail” and don’t even bother to open it. But these packages that we send are important.
This effort is not just for medical research. Funds are also raised for environmental causes and cultural programs such as museums, symphonies, operas, dance companies and theatres.grants us a special rate for such mail. The United States Postal Service has such a special rate. Why can our neighbours to the south do it and we can’t?
Canada Post does offer free mailing services for people who are blind or visually impaired. Talking books are mailed free of charge across Canada, and even around the world. A service is also available to public libraries, university libraries and other libraries that are maintained by non-profits to circulate eligible books to its patrons.
