About the Holiday Program
This year, we have three different programs that community members can get involved with : a Sponsorship Program, Ex-Resident Support and Holiday Extras.
1) Holiday Sponsorship Program
Every year, we match up the families and single women staying at the shelter with individuals and organizations in the community who would like to help.
We then ask residents to fill out a “Wish List” in order to provide sponsors with gift ideas. We ask all residents to provide a list of 3 gift items. Sponsors may also provide grocery gift cards for a holiday meal.
This year, we have five single women and 7 families. Please indicate if you would be interested in sponsoring a single woman or a family.
2) Ex- Resident Support
Ex-residents are able to access Harmony House whenever they need to or want to, no matter how long it has been. Many of our ex-residents continuously access us for support and for food bank. We have decided that while women have been able to find adequate and safe housing, they are still struggling to meet basic needs. We are asking the community to sponsor one of our ex-residents with a grocery gift card for a holiday meal. We want to support 30 ex-residents with a grocery gift card.
3) Holiday Extras Program
Our shelter runs off of donations from folks who are community-minded like yourselves. We use these items on an ongoing basis to support all incoming and outgoing residents of Harmony House.
If this interests you, we could send the list to your contact email if you wish to participate in our Holiday Extras Program.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Outreach Worker, Trysh, at (613) 608-1499 or at outreach@harmonyhousews.com
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration of this request.
Together, we can make the holidays a special time for the women and children of Harmony House.
