The Meaning of Home Contest

See the below information from Habitat for Humanity:

The Meaning of Home contest, which runs from January 7, 2019 to February 18, 2019, invites Grades 4, 5 and 6 students from across Canada to submit a written poem or essay explaining what home means to them for a chance to direct $25,000 grant to a local Habitat for Humanity build of their choice. Since 2007, over 50,000 students have participated in the Meaning of Home contest. Thanks to their inspiring words, and Genworth Canada’s generous support, the Meaning of Home contest has raised over $1 million to build homes across Canada for families in need of decent and affordable housing.

The Meaning of Home contest offers a unique and meaningful way to get your child involved in the creative writing process. The goal is to teach children about the importance of giving back to the community and foster their active participation as world citizens.

Christmas Hamper

Christmas is usually a time of celebration. However, for some families it is a financial struggle. This
year the Hampton Village Community Association, in partnership with St. Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic
School and Bridge City Bible Church, will be collecting donations for Christmas Hampers to help
three families in Hampton Village. Our goal is to help provide food for meals and gifts during this
time.

All donations can be made to the Hampton Village Community Association. Cash or cheques can
be dropped off at the main office of St. Lorenzo school. Alternatively, donations can be made in
person to Dave Cornelius, information is found below. Donations can be made anytime between
November 1 and December 7, 2018. The HVCA is unable to issue charitable receipts.

This is an opportunity to show that we care about all families in this great neighbourhood. For
more information about the Christmas Hampers, please contact Dave Cornelius (306)261-9218 or
davecornelius.yxe@gmail.com

Thank You,
Hampton Village Community Association
