Hosting for Hope
As you gather together with family

and friends during this entertaining season, ask them to join you in helping end violence against women in Canada through HomeSense's Hosting for Hope.  

   

Instead of having your guests bring a hostess gift, ask them to make a donation to end violence against

women.  


Piggybank 
Piggybank - $14.9

You can also show your support by visiting your local HomeSense or Winners and purchasing an exclusive Hosting for Hope product which will support shelters and community violence prevention programs.   

Teapot
Teapot - $12.99

 

This year's special product line is holiday-themed and includes a piggybank, tea pot, mixing bowls and a cocktail shaker with glasses.

  • Sign up an event you are hosting this holiday season

MY STORY - ROSE
"Giving up and returning to a life of abuse would have surely put me in the grave" 

 

ROSE When Rose left her abusive husband, she knew she might have to raise her sons in poverty, but she also knew that was better than the alternative.  

 

"Giving up and returning to a life of abuse would have surely put me in the grave," she says.

 

"I was determined to make it on my own. I took an unknown step forward and left a life of fear, hoping for a more peaceful one."

 

Learn more about how your donation helped change Rose's life and the life of her sons. 


 

Have a warm and wonderful holiday season and thank you for making a difference!
