On the second Sunday in May, Canadians from coast to coast focus their attention on the important maternal figures in their lives. Moms, Grandmothers, Aunts & “Aunties”, the important women in our lives are feted for the love and lessons that they’ve imparted – care that has helped us grow into the remarkable people we have become. Not all these matriarchs are still around to celebrate with us however; some have passed on. And while we may deeply miss their physical company, we are warmed by the memories of the time that we spent together.

On this special day many will show their love to their motherly figures by offering gifts such as chocolate, a bouquet of flowers, or a delicious brunch date. Without doubt these offerings are well received. But what if you could offer “Mom” a thoughtful gift that has an impact today, tomorrow, and for years to come? And what if that special gift could also be given to celebrate the memory of a departed loved one? 

This Mother’s Day there is a way to show our love in a meaningful, lasting way….by offering a gift in honour or become a monthly donor to Good Shepherd Ministries. Your gift will help offer the homeless and vulnerable members of our community meals, shelter, counselling, access to medical services and more. Your kindness will ripple out to make our community healthier for everyone.

Your gift can be offered in honour of your mom, daughter, or someone else that has had a marked impact on you and holds a special space in your heart.
