Instead of bringing a hostess gift to a friends party, why not make a donation in the name of the host to CMHA-WECB.

Start to build a philanthropic culture within your own family by explaining to your children about giving back. After you have made a donation to our children's Griefworks program and are ready to mail it to CMHA-WECB, why not let your kids decorate the envelope and put it in the mailbox? They may want to know that the donation is going to help kids who have lost a loved one and are experience grief. They may even know of someone in their own family or class that has lost a parent, grandparent or sibling.

The next time you are hosting a dinner party, ask your guests to make a donation to CMHA-WECB instead of bringing you a bottle of wine or other type of hostess gift. Have donation cards at your party. (phone CMHA-WECB office to have some delivered to your home or call 519-255-7440 x225)
