Birthday Parties
EchoAge – “a better way to celebrate” – is a wonderful way to engage your child in tikun olam as part of their birthday celebration. EchoAge makes it easy to invite guests and manage RSVPs. Simply indicate Ve’ahavta as your chosen recipient charity! Options for adult parties are available too. For more details, please visit echoage.com
Special Birthdays and Events
When hosting a party of any kind, ask your guests to kindly donate to Ve’ahavta in lieu of gifts. Ve’ahavta will thank your guests on your behalf and send out tax receipts. In lieu of party favours at events or weddings, consider making a gift in honour of your guests.
A lovely card on their tables can inform them of your meaningful contribution. In lieu of gifts, you may request that your guests bring an item for those in need, such as warm clothing for people who experiencing homelessness.
CanadaHelps
