​More than 6,000,000 Ukrainians have fled their homes for safety in neighbouring countries since the devastating invasion began. Many refugees are struggling to meet basic needs while grieving the loss of family, friends, and home. You can help.
 
For just $25, you can give a hygiene package with items like toothpaste, laundry detergent and disinfectant. For $38, a food basket of staples. For $40, a hygiene package and incontinence products.
 
All of these gifts go directly to support Ukrainian refugees through our Mission & Service partner ACT Alliance. Please make a gift today.

Offering Envelopes

Picture
In 2023, we are moving away from purchasing official "Offering Envelopes" BUT Lori in the Office would be more than happy to provide you with generic envelopes with your envelope number written on them. These envelopes are much less costly than having official envelopes printed by a third party.

​Alternatively, you can use your own envelopes  - just write your name and/or envelope number on the front.
​
Envelopes are also available at the front of the church every Sunday. You need only to place your name or envelope number on these envelopes (for tax receipt purposes). 

​Please contact Lori in the Office if you need assistance with envelopes.
​​


Postdated Cheques

Picture
If you would like to make your donation using a series of postdated cheques, please put them in an envelope marked ATTENTION: Lori Hoffman and place them on the offering plate on Sunday.  You can also give them to Lori in the Church Office directly OR mail them to the church.   

                      Cheques should be payable to "First United Church".
