Seeds of Hope

Seeds of Hope- Beauty and Abundance at Multifaith Housing, The Haven

Barrhaven United Church is pleased to share the good news of the Grant we received from the United Church Foundation, Seeds of Hope Program for the summer of 2025. Dr. Sahada Alolo was very helpful in submitting our application as she knows The Haven and its residents well. This Grant will enable us to hire an Agricultural Student to lead in the maintenance and upkeep of the resident’s areas at The Haven. Residents and volunteers will work together to integrate native plants, pollinator friendly plants and where possible vegetables. 

As part of our commitment we are looking for financial donations to assist us in raising 50% of the Grant money. To this end we are asking other faith communities or individuals if they would like to make a donation, large or small, to assist in raising $1,000 to $1,500. We have also reached out to other faith groups in the Barrhaven area and to local businesses.

If you are able to assist, please make your donation by cheque to Barrhaven United Church with a memo notation: Seeds of Hope.    This could be mailed to:  Barrhaven United Church, 3013 Jockvale Rd, Nepean, ON K2J 4E4 or e-transfer to BUCenvelope.sec@gmailcom
