Donations

Powassan United is entirely funded by individual donors and the fundraising efforts of those who believe this church has an important role to play!  If you want to join others who are financially supporting the on-going mission and ministry of Powassan United, you can do this in a number of ways:

1. Come to worship on Sunday at 11:00am.  There are envelopes in which you can put cash or a cheque, and then place on the offering plate during the service.  If you are a guest, there are special envelopes right in the pew for you to use.  Or, if you wish to obtain a box of envelopes for your use throughout the year, contact the church office, and we’ll make that happen!

2. Sign up for PAR or Pre-authorized Remittance.  PAR is a way of having a pre-determined amount that you choose, withdrawn from your bank account every month on a specified date, and given to Powassan United.  Should your financial circumstances change, it is easy to change the withdrawl.  Contact the church office, pow.chis.uc@gmail.com or 705-724-2815 to sign up!

3. Mail or drop off your donation.  You are welcome to mail your donation by sending it to:
   Powassan United Church,
   PO Box 436,
   Powassan, ON.,
   POH 1ZO.
   Or, if you prefer to drop it off, our office hours are Tuesdays and Saturdays, 9-2pm.

4.  Send your donation on-line through PayPal. Click here for our PayPal donation page  This is a secure way to make a donation.  This method is great for those at a distance who want to support our presence in the community and the work we do in the wider world.

5. Give a Legacy gift through making a bequest in your will, a gift of shares or Mutual Funds, an Annuity or Life Insurance.  Melody Duncanson-Hales is the Legacy Gift Planning staff in our area who can help you make this kind of gift to Powassan United.  She is at:  mduncanson-hales@united-church.ca or  705-618-3032.
