HOSANNA QUILTERS
The Hosanna Quilters are requesting donations of flat sheets that we can use for quilt backings. Please, no fitted sheets or pillowcases, unless they are brand new. Thank you.
Karen M. Hosanna Quilters

Statements of donations received and income tax receipts for 2025 have been prepared. Those who want paper copies will find them in their Hosanna mailbox. Any receipts not picked up by the end of February will be mailed. Those who receive emailed statements should have received it on January 22.
If you are expecting an emailed receipt but don’t see it, please check your junk folder. If you would prefer to receive a paper copy of your tax receipt, or you would like it mailed to a different address, please contact Colleen Jahns, Financial Secretary, at financialsecretary@hosannalutheran.ab.ca or 780-436-8161.
| | | |
Please note that, because of the extension by Canada Revenue Agency to accept donations made between January 1 and February 28, 2025 on your 2024 tax return, your tax receipt for donations made in January and February has already been issued. The receipt you are receiving now is for March 1 to December 31, 2025.
Please check the donation statement against your records and if there are any discrepancies, or if you have questions, please contact Colleen.

Helping the Homeless in West Edmonton
Helping the Homeless (HTH) meets on Fridays at Hosanna, 9am to 11am,
to prepare meals for serving on Sundays at Butler Park, 2:30pm – 3:30pm.
| | Consider whether this could be your opportunity to reach out and help! | | Helping the Homeless is in need of volunteers, especially in two areas. Friday mornings, there is a need for volunteers to assist in the food preparation. And Sunday mornings after our service, there is a need for volunteers willing to be one of the drivers to drive the U-Haul cube van up to Butler Park. So many more people are now needing the services provided by the group. | | | |
