Dear Community Member,
We are seeking community support for our 2019 Holiday Hamper Program. For more than a decade, we have provided support and much needed cheer to at least 40 families in our community each holiday season.
Since 2009, we have seen increasing challenges for a wide spectrum of our community members. This includes a general increase in the number of families and new immigrant families in need of support (food, clothing, and access to services) as well as annual increases in the number of families experiencing more significant barriers.
More specifically, we have seen an increase in the number of adults and children experiencing poverty. We regularly provide food bank, bread and produce to low income families in our area, and have a long waiting list for this program.
Many people are the working poor, while others are not able to work because of disabilities or other issues. Some are in very tenuous situations and are on the verge of homelessness.
*An example of the kind of support we are seeking is if a Family is the size of 2 to 3 members they would receive a $50 gift card, or a Family Size of 4 to 5 would receive a $75 gift card. Any donation would help toward the families.
We hope that you can support this project by giving cash, cheque, or gift card donation or making a donation to the Frog Hollow Website www.froghollow.bc.ca. The deadline for donations is December 20th, 2019.
Our Charitable Registration #106732969RT0001

Frog Hollow NH has partnered with Home Instead Foundation to use their fundraising platform called GIVE65 to help donate to seniors programs and this platform is going live again with the matching fund tonight at 10pm, called #GivingTuesday.
#GivingTuesday is actually a few hours away! We are asking for your support starting tonight at 10pm on #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving. By donating tonight at 10pm at https://www.give65.ca/projects/neighbourhoodhouseonthego, you can help us take advantage of $5,000 in matching funds available through GIVE65, a program of the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation of Canada. We would like to ask all of you to please also help us promote to anyone who may be able to give a donation!
Starting at 10pm tonight, GIVE65 is providing $25,000 in matching funds raised on GIVE65.ca. Gifts are matched on a first donated, first matched basis, meaning the earlier you donate, the more likely your gift will be matched. Once the $25,000 is gone, no more gifts will be matched. That’s why we’re asking you to give as soon as you’re able to.
Please visit our GIVE65 giving page: https://www.give65.ca/projects/neighbourhoodhouseonthego. There you can give, learn more about the project we’re raising funds for and see the progress we’ve made. No gift is too small, every dollar counts and helps make a difference in the lives of seniors and their families in our community.
You can give right at 10 p.m. PST on December 2 and up until 10 p.m. PST on December 3. If you’re planning to give, I’d kindly ask you to donate as close to 10pm as you are able so we can take part in the $25,000 matching funds.
For those of you who do not want to donate via the platform, you can also bring your cash or cheque donation to Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House at 2131 Renfrew Street, Vancouver B.C. and we can wire the money in for you. If we receive a cash donation of $25 or more, Frog Hollow can issue a tax receipt!
We thank you in advance for your support. Seniors rely on the services we provide, and we are excited to have the opportunity to increase our donations by partnering with GIVE65. We know through your generosity and the GIVE65 partnership, we have the opportunity to make an even greater impact in the lives of seniors and their families. Thank you for your support!
