Rowan House - Christmas Shopping in the Spirit of the Season

There are many ways you can help Rowan House Emergency Shelter while you are doing your Christmas shopping.
Once again we are asking for gift cards for our Christmas Campaign. Gift cards allow our women the dignity of buying what they feel they need for their family at Christmas. We accept gift cards for food, gas, clothing, toiletries and toys. You can choose from local grocery to big box stores. All will be greatly appreciated. Gift card drop boxes will be set up at a number of local businesses by mid November. Call the office at 403-938-6785 for more details. Thank you for your generosity.
Why not pick up a book by a local author as a truly unique gift. Rest Your Head on the Wind is a woman's story about a passion for motorcycles, travel, self discovery, veteran advocacy, war healing and personal transformation. The author, Susan Raby-Dunne, has been both an explorer of the open road and a spiritual adventurer. She has lived life-by-motorcycle for over thirty years. Join her on an eclectic journey of the soul and the saddle from the highways of Canada to America and Europe. Rowan House receives a $4.00 donation from the sale of each book donated by Susan Raby-Dunne. The book is available for purchase at the Chuckwagon Cafe in Turner Valley.
Both Coco Rouge in Okotoks and Vespucci in High River have an account set up in Rowan House's name. If you are looking to donate gently used clothing these two stores will forward the proceeds to Rowan House. Now is a good time to clean out our closets!
If you prefer to do your Christmas shopping from the comfort of your own home in your pjs then Shop and Share is for you! Just go to the website www.shopandshare.ca and select from a wide range of well known, brand name stores and then have a portion of the proceeds donated to Rowan House. It's free for you and for Rowan House so create an account today!
Visit our website, www.rowanhouse.ca or call 403-938-6785 to DONATE.
We wish you and your family all the best this Holiday Season!
