White Gift Event

by

Our White Gift/Mitten Tree event this year will be much different than in previous years. Due to Covid, the Outreach Committee is planning a drop-off White Gift event for Saturday, December 5, 2020 from 10am to 2pm.

Please note that many organizations are not accepting clothing donations at this time, so gift cards are preferable. We hope to offer support to the following organizations this holiday season:

Children’s Aid – Gift cards for Walmart or President Choice preferred.

Women’s Abuse Shelter- Gift cards only preferably from drug stores or Walmart; $5.00 or $10.00 gift cards from Tim Hortons or MacDonalds cards are also helpful.

Salvation Army will accept donations of new clothes for men women and children.

Jen Prince would like the congregation to consider giving Best Buy gift cards, in aid of several families needing to purchase computers and other items for home schooling needs.

Gift cards and other donations will be received at the main entrance under the overhang at the church on Saturday, December 5, 2020 from 10am to 2pm.

Please call John Davidson at 519-679-1976 if you have any questions. Thanks for your generosity!

Pay It Forward

by

A campaign supporting Siloam United Church in lieu of the Chicken BBQ

Here are the details:

  • recently the Federal Government announced special Covid 19 financial support for seniors
  • during the week of July 6, 2020, all recipients of Old Age Security (OAS) will receive $300 tax free as a one time payment
  • some were not counting on this money, or really in need of it, and have decided to donate it to Siloam to offset declining revenue from rentals and givings
  • it doesn’t cost the donor anything as it is tax free and contributes to their Siloam tax deductible givings actually generating a benefit

If you feel the some way, please send all or part of the tax free benefit in early July by mail to the church or using the credit card form below.

SILOAM United Church
1240 Fanshawe Road East
