Fun outing for kids ($50)
There’s no fear when you’re having fun. Sponsor a mom and two children to watch a movie at the cinema, spend a day at the beach, or other carefree outing. “To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling, bright-eyed, happy children; no music so sweet as their clear and ringing laughter” – P. T. Barnum.
Donate a car
Do you have a car, truck, van, SUV, or other automobile? Donate it to Alice House and receive a charitable tax receipt. It will be picked up for free by Donate-A-Car Canada, and then sold at auction or recycled for parts.
Donate a birthday
Celebrate any special occasion while also raising money for women in need. Instead of gifts, ask people to make a charitable donation to Alice House to celebrate your special day.
School supplies ($32)
Give a child the tools to succeed in school. Fill a backpack with pencils, erasers, loose-leaf, glue sticks, notepads, and more.
Rent ($150)
Rental units available to low income families are typically either suitable but over-priced or affordable but sub-standard. Many women have no option but to return to the violent homes they left, putting their lives and the lives of their children at risk. Help a family of three pay the rent for one week.
Bus pass ($78)
In their quest for independence, women at Alice House commonly seek to upgrade their education and get hired at a new job. How are they going to get to where they need to be? Access to public transportation gives women opportunities they may not have otherwise. Give a woman the freedom to move around the city for one month with a bus and ferry pass.
Personal care items ($25)
Personal cleanliness is necessary for one’s bodily health and well being. Put your donation towards diapers, baby wipes, soap, razors, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.
Comfort ($12)
Feeling scared is common for children who witness intimate partner violence. Give the gift of comfort to a child who would like a new toy for their new life away from violence.
Name your amount
Donate an amount of your choice to Alice House. Over 80¢ of every dollar goes directly to charitable programs. You have the option of donating in memory of a loved one. You can also donate in honour of someone who has touched your life, and show them you care about the issue of intimate partner violence.
Safety ($20)
A woman needs to know that life without violence is possible. A secure atmosphere in which she can examine her options and make changes in her life is needed. Keep women and children safe by covering the cost of an external security camera and 24 hour alarm system for one month.
