Giving - Which Charities Really Help?

Who Gets Your Gifts?

Janetville Pastoral Chat with Reverend Mary Margaret Boone

Great Giving

Giving - the Horn of Africa Relief Fund being in the news daily, has people wondering:

“How do we know whether our money gets to the grassroots and the people who need it?’
‘Which charities have admin fees that are way too high?”
‘How can we know which charities are the best bang for our buck?’

Ways people give is important, and also not getting caught up in boiler room appeals where very little ends up in the hands of those who need the money. So why do charities even use these types of appeals? Another issue is 'Who is a viable charity?’

Mount Horeb United Church Garden Party - Great Annual Ham and Salad Supper!

Mount Horeb United Church Dishing Delicious Dinners!

Mount Horeb United Church’s Annual Ham and Salad Supper,draws diners to dinner,

like bees to honey. Mount Horeb United Church will be dishing up a delicious traditional Ham and Salad dinner, June 1st, from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Mount Horeb United Church is just a short jaunt down the road west of Omemee, at 117 Hillhead Road,a bit north of Mount Horeb Road in Reaboro, Ontario

Mount Horeb United Church has been serving up delicious church dinners for as long as anyone can remember. Early settlers in Mount Horeb held services in a log house until the church was built and dedicated in 1861. In 1894 the church was remodeled into the structure they have today.
It is not hard to imagine that early pioneer brothers, Peter and Donald Fisher, would hve enjoyed tucking into some of the local fare in the early years of Mount Horeb church dinners. Use the handy map below to get you to the church on time!
