2. PECSF Regional Deposits & ServiceBC The way to get cash donations from the Regions to PECSF …

3.  In areas/regions with no Coast Capital Savings Credit Unions, PECSF volunteers have struggled to manage cash donations and money raised through fundraisers and gaming events.  Volunteers have found ingenious ways to get $ to Victoria:  Talking banks into giving them free money orders  Writing personal cheques in exchange for the money raised  Bundling the cash & cheques into double wrapped envelopes and mailing/couriering them to Victoria  Each of these ways put the money and the volunteers at risk! Why are we doing this?

4.  Service BC has stepped in to help PECSF set up a method for money collection at your local Service BC office. Step 1: Fill out some forms Step 2: Take the cash & cheques to Service BC Step 3: Service BC does the rest! They will process the deposit.  At the end of the campaign Service BC will transfer the funds to PECSF in Victoria for the amount of ALL the deposits made during the campaign. The solution!
