We would like to invite you to become the newest member of our 100 Club.   The 100 Club is a planned giving initiative, which aims to get 100 individuals, families or groups to commit to making an annual donation of $120.00 or more to our agency. It is the most convenient way to support Second Stage Housing.  All it takes is a one-time sign-up with a voided cheque or credit card number, and a minimum of $10/month.  Instead of making a large one-time donation, you can authorize Second Stage Housing to take small monthly payments from your bank account or to charge your credit card. This makes donating to Second Stage Housing much more manageable, and easy on your budget.  At the end of each year, we will send you a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of your annual donation.
 
The objective of the 100 Club is to generate sustainable funding for Second Stage Housing’s programs for women and children leaving abusive relationships. Our hope is to be able to focus less effort on fundraising and more on providing consistent, quality programming for women in need of our services.  The 100 club currently has 42 members.  You can help us reach our goal by signing up today.  If you are already a regular supporter of Second Stage and would prefer to make your donation in monthly increments, that can be arranged by  contacting us or filling out the 100 Club form and returning it in the stamped envelope..
 
Is $10/month to support women and children leaving abusive relationships in your budget?  If so, join the club.  

In 2019 the 100 Club had 42 members and raised just over $7,700.

Words from Jennifer:

Picture
It wasn’t until after I started the program with
Second Stage Housing that I realized physical abuse is not the only type of  abuse. My life was falling apart. My husband left me for another woman and lost our home to incredible debt. I was a victim of emotional abuse for 17 years. The services Second Stage Housing provided: group counselling, individual counselling, and more importantly individual counselling for my children, gave my children and me a new start. Children see and hear more than we think and having someone, other than mom to talk to, can really help them with their feelings. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to Second Stage Housing; it changed and saved my life.
