Elmira Mennonite Church, Monday, Nov. 21, 7:30 pm.

Come join our celebration of the first 10 years of MennoHomes' Christian ministry - 100 units of affordable housing for local families and individuals.  Join us in thanking God for leading us through uncharted territory and supplying the resources of grants, donations, land, builders and volunteers.  We will acknowledge the contributions of various key supporters and share our 10-year history project.  A collection will be held in support of the history project.  Refreshments will be served.

Special Needs Fund

In 2002 MennoHomes established a Special Needs Fund with designated donations of $4,600.

The purpose of the Special Needs Fund is to help keep families in housing operated by MennoHomes.  Threats to safe and secure housing may arise unexpectedly due to decline or loss of income; also household emergencies.  From time-to-time MennoHomes receives applications from families who are short $100 or so a month to meet the rent charged by MennoHomes.  Unable to qualify for a government-sponsored Rent Supplement, and lacking sufficient income to completely cover the rent that has to be charged for a 3-bedroom unit, some families are unable to make the move to a secure and safe place.  Fortunately, people have continued to donate to this Fund through the years.  Many families were able to continue to live at "The Village" because of this type of support.

By establishing a Special Needs Fund, MennoHomes is able to make the difference that counts.  On cheques to MennoHomes please indicate your support by designating the use to the Special Needs Fund. If you want to make a donation to this fund, please fill out the from and select "Special Needs" dropdown and send it in.

A confirmation with the details you filled in will be emailed to you. Thank-you!
