🧣 Buy One, Give One - Warmth for Winter & Hope for Recovery

This winter, you can do more than stay warm, you can help someone else do the same.

Our Buy One, Give One Winter Tuque campaign gives you the option to purchase a high-quality, expertly embroidered toque for yourself and gift one to someone in need in our community.

Each tuque is more than cold-weather gear - it’s a symbol of care, craftsmanship, and renewed purpose. The embroidery is done by men in our recovery program as part of their skill-building and growth, turning every purchase into something meaningful for both the maker and the wearer.

🌬️ When you choose the Buy One, Give One option, you help:
- Keep someone warm this winter
- Support skill development and job readiness
- Bring dignity, comfort, and community into someone’s life
- Wrap someone in warmth and in hope.

📚 Happy International Education Day!

Education has the power to restore confidence, open doors, and change the direction of a life - especially for men rebuilding after addiction.

At Harvest House, learning has long been part of recovery. For nearly two decades, residents have had the opportunity to earn their high school equivalency while gaining stability and structure in our program. When Canada transitioned from the GED to the new Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC), Harvest House residents became the first in Canada to write the new CAEC exams. 

This achievement reflects determination, resilience, and the belief that growth doesn’t stop because of past struggles. Education builds confidence, opportunity, and momentum toward a healthier future and today we celebrate the men who continue choosing to move forward.

January has increasingly become known as Dry January - a time when people choose to pause their alcohol use, reflect on habits, and consider how drinking fits into their lives.

For the men at Harvest House, abstaining from alcohol isn’t a temporary challenge. Recovery is a lifelong commitment, and every day requires intentional choices, accountability, and support. There is no “return to normal” after January - only the ongoing work of healing, growth, and rebuilding.

Dry January can be a helpful starting point for reflection, but lasting recovery requires structure, community, and compassion. At Harvest House, we walk alongside men every day as they pursue sobriety and long-term change.

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Harvest House Ministries ✨🎄

Today we celebrate the hope, love, and new beginnings that Christmas represents.

At Harvest House, we see that hope come alive every day -  in men choosing recovery, in families being restored, and in a community that continues to show incredible generosity and faith.

As we gather with loved ones, we are grateful for everyone who has supported our mission this year. Your prayers, encouragement, and compassion make it possible for men to find healing, purpose, and a fresh start.

May your day be filled with peace, joy, and the reminder that light always overcomes darkness.

From our Harvest House family to yours… Merry Christmas! 🎁💛
