TORONTO, Nov. 26 /CNW/ - Children across Canada will be breaking their piggy banks at local TD Canada Trust branches to celebrate the spirit of giving this holiday season.

TD Canada Trust encourages Canadians to regularly support charity as part of their ongoing financial activity, including teaching children about the power and importance of giving to others.

In partnership with Children's Miracle Network, TD gives customers the ability to donate to regional children's hospitals straight from their bank accounts through automated monthly donations. One hundred per cent of contributions go directly to the local Children's Miracle Network member hospital.
