This organization is designated by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a registered charity. They comply with the CRA's requirements and has been issued a charitable registration number.
Join Highbanks Society in transforming lives through the "Furnishing a Future" campaign. As we expand our capacity to support vulnerable young mothers and their children, we need your help to furnish 10 new housing units at Hope Heights. Each unit requires essential furniture and household items to create a safe, nurturing environment where families can thrive. With your support, we can provide these families with the foundation they need to build brighter futures.
Every donation makes a difference—help us turn these houses into homes.
For most of our families, Highbanks is their first independent living experience. Our families come to us without furniture or household necessities. Our community helps us provide everything that is needed to create a safe, comfortable home that provides security and dignity of place for our moms and children.
Anything you can help provide is greatly appreciated!
