POVERTY

To help those living in poverty we offer basic necessities such as food, clothing, hygiene items and shelter.

Donations of $15-$150 help provide some basic necessities for those living in extreme conditions.

• Food for food banks and soup kitchens where the numbers of people who need food for themselves and their families is increasing in all communities across Canada. – any amount helps


• Holiday Gifts  for children, adults and seniors in need. While obtaining everyday necessities is an ongoing struggle for many Canadians the holiday season can increase the feeling of loneliness and hopelessness. The thought that someone cares can help make the festive season a bit more bearable. Often children living in poverty never receive anything special.
