Thank you to the wonderful women of the Retired Women Teachers of Ontario Brant Branch for their continued support of the Hope For The Holidays program, in benefit of families seeking shelter at Nova Vita this holiday season. Not only did they raise $1,645, but also provided $450 in gift cards! This donation will go a long way in helping fill gaps and fulfill every resident's wish list, according to a Nova Vita spokesperson.

Thank you for making a difference this year, and every year!
