Host a Fundraiser on LCIH’s Behalf!Indulge in creativity and encourage your family, business, school, or community group to organize their own fundraiser on behalf of Lanark County Interval House! Our operating expenses have tripled since we opened our newly renovated shelter and we do not have funding to support the increase. Our Outreach programs are overwhelmed by the demand from women and children in Lanark County in need of support. We need your help! Not sure what to do? Organize an event or initiative that reflects your particular group’s interests, pastimes, or passions—if you love to go hiking, for instance, consider how you can organize a hike for LCIH’s Step It Up Lanark campaign. If you love to bake, why not try to organize a unique baking lesson with friends and family? And if you just love plain, crazy fun, try a costume party or dare to dye your hair the colours of the rainbow—if your colleagues donate enough pledges! Important Guidelines to Remember · Net funds must be submitted no later than 60 days after the event. · We will not assume any legal or financial liability associated with third party events and we will not be held responsible for any damages or accidents. · We must approve the use of our name and logo on any materials. · We are more than happy to provide promotional materials for your event, such as posters, pamphlets, and/or our banner. · All tax receipt issues must be discussed with Lanark County Interval House prior to the event. All tax receipts will be issued in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency’s regulations. · We cannot issue tax receipts for donated services (example: advertising, construction, entertainment, etc.) Need more information? Please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your support and hope that your event is a success!

Donations of Canning Jars: This fall, LCIH will be partnering with Ballygiblin’s, Carleton Place’s local pub & restaurant, to make a selection of apple preserves. The goods will be sold at our Women’s Fair & store in support of LCIH. If you have some extra canning jars sitting around, please donate them to support our fundraiser.
