Tree of Hope | #RaisingHope | Celebration of Giving

NOW Canada and Karis Support Society both take a sustainable approach in their programming and offer a wide continuum of supports that include counseling, safe housing, life skills programs, individualized care and ongoing access to therapy. Women who access supports and programs at Karis and NOW Canada are supported until they are confident enough to transition to independence.
Our organizations are excited to come together for a common goal this year and continue in a collaboration that allows us to serve even more women and children in our community in a sustainable and lasting way.
This year highlights the importance of supporting local, it has been a tough year for many in our community, we saw more women, youth and children need our programs than ever before. Thanks to the Tree of Hope, the impact of every dollar donated will be doubled up to $100,000. So if you are planning to give this year, give local. The donations we receive through the Tree of Hope become an investment into the lives of individuals in our community.
