A Special Note About Donations
|

Special Note about donations
while we are unable to offer in-person worship:
We just want to let you know how you can still make donations to Hosanna during this crisis. Our operations and expenses still continue even though we are not meeting in person.
PAR: If you are on PAR, everything will proceed like normal – thank you.
If you would like to join PAR, let us know we will send you the form (or you can pick one up at the office).
Mail/Mailbox: You can mail in your donations (some of you already do this – thank you), or you can drop them off at the office or in the locked mailbox by the front door.
Online: You can also donate online via credit card. Here is the link to the Hosanna website page with the donation link:
If you give online, please note a couple of things, 1) you will receive a receipt from Canadahelps - not Hosanna. 2) This option costs the church the most, as we pay a fee for the credit card and a fee to Canadahelps. It is not huge, so this remains a viable option, but if you can do one of the other choices, your money goes a bit further.

Did you know that the Food Bank distribution centre at our church has been open throughout the pandemic? We are so thankful for our volunteers, as Hosanna was one of the few distribution centres that remained open to folk, when they were needed the most! Now that things are opening up a bit more, we are wondering if there are any members of Hosanna that would like to take on volunteering to distribute food to Food Bank clients on Thursday afternoons. If you would like to volunteer on a Thursday afternoon please let Lena know at the church office or text/call Nina Tanti at 780-619-3031 or email ninat_1994@hotmail.com or Liz Tanti at 780-993-2806 or email at lizzietanti@gmail.com. Thanks.

In addition to socks and underwear, the Jasper Place Wellness Centre is always in need of lots of other personal items to provide to their clients. Current needs include: personal toiletries (small sizes of things such as q-tips, deodorant, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, chapstick, and disposable razors.) If you can donate any of these items, please drop them off at the Centre at their new location: 15626 - 100A avenue.

Message from Hosanna Social Justice Committee:
Earlier this summer, we prepared a news item regarding a Backpacks and Supplies Drive for Jasper Place High School. Hosanna has undertaken this drive a number of years in support of students benefitting from the school’s supplies and breakfast program.
The earlier item suggested that we would consider running the drive in August depending on evolving plans regarding schooling. Uncertainties remain about the school program at a time when new staff are taking over the co-ordinating and liaison role Nancy Metcalf has filled at JPHS for a number of years.
Consequently, the Social Justice Committee is placing the backpacks and supplies initiative on hold for the time being. If and when held, the drive likely will focus on gathering financial rather than in-kind support.
