Break-in on March 18, 2023

Harcourt Memorial United Church was broken into on Saturday March 18 during the overnight hours.  Much of our Audio Visual Equipment, some laptops and other technology were stolen.  There was costly damage to doors and locks throughout the building. While we are grateful to have insurance coverage for most items we do have a $5000 deductible which is an unanticipated expense.  Any donations to offset our deductible would be greatly appreciated and received with gratitude. Ways in which you can give:​

• PAR. Automatic Payment through your bank. This is the most effective way that we keep a consistent revenue stream. Setting up PAR is easy! Just print and fill out the form located here. You can contribute to “Local church” (meaning our Operating Fund), “Mission and Service”, or “Other” (which can be Property Pillar, Outreach Pillar, Music and Arts Pillar or Spiritual Life & Education pillar).
  
  ​Send (with a VOID Cheque) to: Harcourt Memorial United Church, 87 Dean Avenue, Guelph, Ontario, N1G 1L3 (or you can drop it in the mail slot at Harcourt’s front door).
• Interact e-transfers. You can sign onto your own online banking and send an electronic transfer. Send the transfer to office@harcourtcommunity.ca (no password required) and note in the message line where you want the funds allocated to. You can contribute to our Operating Fund, Mission and Service, Property Pillar, Outreach Pillar, Music and Arts Pillar, Spiritual Life & Education Pillar or other programs.
• Credit Card – Pllenty. You can donate to Harcourt and get an instant tax receipt for the total amount donated. Click the Donate button in the navigation above. Fill in the required fields on that page. A convenient option but does come with a 2% service fee that reduces the amount received by Harcourt. 
• Cheque – Mail. Canada Post is another method. Even with the office closed, we continue to pick up and process our mail. Insert a cheque (or many post-dated cheques!) into your regular Harcourt Offering Envelope.  You can mail it to Harcourt or drop it in the mail slot at Harcourt’s front door.
• UCC Foundation. Donation of securities via the Foundation provides a significant tax benefit to the donor.  A transaction fee of 1.5% up to a maximum of $250 is applied. Visit their website here.
