How can I help?

    We rely on the generosity of the individuals in our community who support the House of Sophrosyne by not only giving financial donations but also by giving the gift of their time.  Without these contributions we would not be able to carry on providing the kinds of programs that have become the hallmark of our work.

     Donations are appreciated and can be directed to the House of Sophrosyne.

Ongoing Gemstones Campaign

    Gemstones come in many different sizes, hues, tones, and shapes.   Gemstones, like women, are all unique and beautiful.   Both endure for generations; both are born of the earth and grow into something beautiful.   Gemstones have become extremely valuable through human intervention, and the House of Sophrosyne enriches women's lives in much the same way.

    The House of Sophrosyne is proud to join with women's addiction treatment centers across the country in presenting the "Women and Gemstones" fundraising campaign.   Beautiful gemstone bracelets are presented on velvet bars in hatboxes - perfect for displays at meetings, workplaces, or anywhere people gather.   If you would like to have a display at your next meeting, or would like to volunteer to present a "hatbox" to your group, please contact the Operations Manager at 519.252.2711.

    Each bracelet is $20.00 and includes an organza gift bag.

Bingos

The House of Sophrosyne has regularly scheduled Bingos to benefit our programs, the following dates are available if you wish to show your support through our Bingos:

Zehrs Save-a-Tape Campaign

We encourage everyone to save any Zehrs receipts from their groceries, for every $450.00 of totaled receipts we receive $1.00 in Canadian funds.  If you wish to participate in our Save-a-Tape campaign, mail or drop off receipts in our "Zehrs Receipt Box, " at the House.  Every dollar counts, every receipt counts!
