Pre-authorized monthly donations of $5 or more may be made with your Visa or MasterCard or you can make your monthly donation with post-dated cheques. The amount you give each month is entirely up to you, and you can cancel, increase or decrease your monthly contributions quickly and easily at any time.

2. Lend a Hand
How can you help? There are many ways to get involved:
  • Organize a fundraising event
  • Join a committee
  • Share your talents (desktop publishing, event planning, public speaking, research, Website management, organizing volunteers, etc.)
  • Start a JSH club at your High School, College or University

There are lots of fun ways for individuals or groups to raise money. ALL donations are greatly appreciated.
Here are a few suggestions:
  • Movie Night – Rent a new movie or your favourite classic and invite your friends over for a movie night! Ask each person for a donation equal to the cost of the rental.
  • Kids – you can help, too! – Set up a lemonade stand, a neighbourhood carnival or movie rental night with your friends.
  • Schools – Promote global awareness with a penny drive or book sale.
  • At the office – Set out a bowl of small treats and a donation tin. Ask coworkers to make a donation when they eat a treat.
  • College/University students – Plan a fundraising ‘Reggae Night’.
  • Garage/Yard Sale – Clean out your basement & support JSH at the same time!

Don’t forget - Send a photo of your event along with your donation – you could be featured on our Website or in our next newsletter!
