Harvest House Fundraising
Harvest House Ministries is a not for profit organization with an annual operation budget of 2 million dollars. 100% of our funding comes from the community.
Fundraising is the lifeline of Harvest House. Not only does it keep the doors open for the next man who wants a second chance, but it also offers the residents the opportunity to learn important life and work skills while contributing to their own rehab costs. Residents and graduates of the program work in the phone room, helping to achieve a sense of accomplishment and developing self-esteem.
The Harvest House Annual Card Campaign
2011 marks Harvest House’s 9th Annual Card Campaign. There is tremendous talent at Harvest House and this year we held weekly art contest amongst the residents and staff to help gather artwork for this year’s selection of cards. This was incredibly successful and developed into weekly art classes.
The launch of our Card Campaign not only raises much-needed funds for our important program but also gives residents work skills, sales training and greater self-esteem. Every aspect of the design, production, printing and packaging of the cards is completed at our Skills Development Centre by the residents and graduates. The people who call you selling our cards are not professional sales people; they are the men of Harvest House who have made sincere commitments to changing their lives.
The Harvest House Annual Calendar Campaign
Harvest House is dedicated to helping young men to live better lives. With the growing need for alcohol and drug rehab, Harvest House has risen to the challenge and in its 25 years of operation has served hundreds of people and saved many lives.
The Calendar Campaign is the longest running and most successful of Harvest House’s fundraising campaigns. We started knocking on doors in the community and have developed a large number of loyal and committed supporters who believe in the work that we do. Through your support with the purchase of one of our calendars you can save a life.
22nd Annual Recovery Cup
On August 27, 2011, Harvest House will host the Recovery Cup Softball Tournament at Centennial Park in Manotick.
This year marks the 24th anniversary of this remarkable event, in which teams from Harvest House (the Underdogs and the Overcomers) will compete against teams from the RCMP, Fire Department, Ottawa Police Service, Probation and Parole departments, and many more.
For over 20 years this tournament has brought together members of the community and law enforcement with the young men in recovery at Harvest House in a spirit of friendly competition.
Best of all, 100% of all the money raised in ticket sales for this event will be channeled back into the program to help Harvest House achieve its mission, to help young men recover from drug and alcohol addiction.
