This year we have had a successful Holiday Urn and Snowshoe Decorating Workshop. Quaker Calm Tea Sales have been brisk and the Youth have made and sold old felted soap, eco print cards, star garlands. This year they also added Tallow & Honey Face Cream to their table. They will decide what service projects they would like to support. Thanks to everyone who has helped with our 2024 Fundraising we are thankful to be able to support service projects with the funds raised.
Quaker Meeting House, 6387 Quaker Road, Sparta ON
With your help we look forward to supporting various service projects in 2024. As a result of our fundraising in 2023 we were able to support:
- Harvest Hands St. Thomas
- Queer Teen Social Group in St. Thomas
- Canadian Friends Service Committee
- Movie Nights at the Meetinghouse for Documentary Films for the Public
- Animal Shelter in St. Thomas
- St. Thomas Food Bank
We also work with the YWCA and other local service providers, to support youth aged 16 to 24 living independently.
Our wish is to provide these youth with some basic supports, coupled with an awareness that they are a part of a community that wants them to survive and thrive. Our main initiative is providing heart-felt and homemade holiday gifts.
“Deep within us all there is an amazing sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking Voice, to which we may continuously return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home to Itself“ A Testament of Devotion, a Quaker classic by Thomas R. Kelly (1893 – 1941)
