Donate in Memoriam:-
We have recently
established an ‘In Memoriam Program’ that
allows both families of the deceased and their loved ones to donate to our
local charity if they choose not to purchase flower arrangements. This
continues to help others in need in our community in the deceased loved
one’s name.
Local Flower and/or Gift Shops will donate a keepsake gift for the family of the deceased
in the name of the individuals who were kind enough to donate to our
charity.
Our In Memoriam Partners:
A CanadaHelps charity gift card is
a unique way to send a gift to the person who has everything! Simply pick
an amount, choose a card, fill out your gift options, then checkout and pay
for the gift card. Your gift recipient will receive an email notification
about your gift. He/she can then visit the website to
spend the gift card on the charity he/she chooses. Its simple, fun and an innovative gift idea!

Giving Pages:-
Weddings, Anniversaries,
Birthdays, newborns - any occasion! Giving Pages are a unique
way to request, or give a meaningful gift.

Donate Securities:-
Great news! CanadaHelps now
accepts gifts of securities online. With the
elimination of capital gains on donations of publically traded securities
last year, gifts of securities are now the most tax efficient way to make a
charitable donation ... and a great way for donors to make a greater impact
with their gift.
It’s easy – both for donors and for charities.
Once a donor has completed the online process and the shares have
been sold, the donor receives their tax receipt and the charity receives
the funds. It’s just that simple. To find out more about how it
works, visit http://www.canadahelps.org/Help/Help.aspx?id=11.
An email notification will be sent to you when a Gifts
of Securities donation has been made to your charity and of course you’ll
be able to track these donations at any time by checking your CanadaHelps
account.

Make a bequest:- put
Lakeshore Community Services in your Will!
Planned giving refers to the process of making a
charitable gift of estate assets to one or more nonprofit organizations, a
gift that requires consideration and planning
in light of the donor's overall estate plan.
Such gifts usually include legal documents and often
require the assistance of a qualified professional advisor to complete.
Because of the size and potential impact of such gifts, a donor should
consult with his or her professional advisors before completing the process.

In Kind Donations:-
In kind donations can be made in the form of material
items that we require to help
us run any one of our many programs. We also accept in
kind service donations that contribute to the development of our mission.
