👎 sorry to share that we have to turn off PayPal as a donation payment option on our website, which has been a preferred method for many donors.

⛔️While unsuccessful with their efforts, the cyber hacking community has a bullseye on our online donation platform so we have no choice at this point but to put a hard stop to their attempts at breaking into our site and potentially banking data via PayPal payments.

🦾EGH is committed to protecting your data and donated dollars. We are currently doing website work to enhance security and reduce the risk of cyber threats.

💙We will share an update if and when this situation with PayPal donation payments gets resolved. For now we appreciate your understanding in this decision and flexibility with other donation options such as debit and credit cards and offline checks.

8,400 reasons to be grateful and too many pics to show it all 💗

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our 3rd annual Eli’s Garden of Healing’s Makers Market at Spring Glen Church

This year was a record breaking fundraising year for EGH which demonstrates the strong community support behind our mission to create a healing garden for community members impacted by violence.

To everyone who came for the market and stayed for the mission. Thank you. If we just met at the market, thanks for being here and spending time meeting us! We hope to see you at another event soon.

To the 50+ makers, participating nonprofits, dozen+ volunteers, bakers, board members, musicians, food trucks, and sponsors - thank you! This isn’t possible without your support.

To our hosts for a third year running Spring Glen Church - your generosity is so valued and appreciated by us, and everyone who attended! Thank you.

With October being month we wanted to bring attention to the cause at our Eli’s Garden of Healing’s Makers Market this Saturday.

Domestic Violence is estimated to impact 10M people in the US annually at a frequency of 24 PEOPLE PER MINUTE.

At our Makers Market we have a tagline “Come for the Market, stay for the mission”. To highlight the importance of domestic violence awareness we are offering each vendor a purple led candle to light at their booth as a reminder that so many of our friends, family, and community members have struggled with.

If you or someone you know is impacted by DV the 24/7 National Domestic Violence Hotline hotline number for support is 800.799.SAFE (7233) and here in CT there are so many local resources and support groups such as The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services and CCADV who manage the CT hotline Safe Connect (888) 774-2900

If you are just learning about Eli’s Garden of Healing, Inc., perhaps through the market coming up on Saturday, the following slides explain a bit about our blue logo and our colorful logo. 💜
