L'Arche Hamilton hasn't added a story.
This Giving Tuesday, Help Us Overcome a Big Challenge -- and unlock $2500 too.
The holiday season is a time of generosity and giving—but this year, we’re facing a serious obstacle: a postal strike. With traditional fundraising methods disrupted, even when the strike settles, we’re deeply concerned about how this will have affected the funding we rely on to provide homes, programs, and joy-filled experiences for people with intellectual disabilities in our city.
But there’s good news: you can help us rise above this challenge, right now, from the comfort of your home.
Introducing our Giving Tuesday Gift Catalogue—a way to give meaningful gifts that directly support our homes and Core Members. From art supplies to new kitchenware or even live music, your generosity will provide much-needed items and unforgettable experiences. And the best part? No postage is required to make a big difference.
Even better: thanks to a matching donor, every dollar you give will be doubled—up to $2,500. That means your $50 gift will turn into $100 of impact, helping us navigate this difficult time with your support.
Choose from our 2024 Gifts to L’Arche Hamilton:
- The Gift of a Break: A take-out meal for a house (no cooking, no cleaning!): $60
- The Gift of Nature: Two tickets to the Royal Botanical Gardens or gardening supplies: $20
- The Gift of Music: An afternoon of live music at our Inclusion CoffeeHouse: $100
- The Gift of Art: An art kit with supplies for our Creative Hands Art Studio: $30
- The Gift of Cooking: New kitchenware like pots, pans, or small appliances: $250
- The Gift of Snacks: Munchies for holiday gatherings: $15
- The Gift of Giving: Support where it’s most needed: $Any Amount, you choose!
This Giving Tuesday, your generosity is more important than ever. With your help, we can overcome the challenges of the postal strike, continue to provide the care and joy our Core Members depend on, and ensure this season of giving truly counts. Thank you for standing with us during this critical time. Your gift will be doubled and your impact will be immeasurable.
With Gratitude, The L'Arche Hamilton Community
PS. If you want to give in multiple gift categories, just put your total donation in the $Any Amount option and write your Gift Choices in the comment section -- we'll take care of the rest!
