Help newcomers build their future in Canada

Donate to help newcomers in Canada. Your support will help them overcome challenges and start their new lives. Your donation can support programs like Multi-lingual Youth Circle and First Language Trauma Services (support for refugees and immigrants). These programs are not fully funded by the government, so your support is needed.

Donate by cheque, cash, or by giving a gift card

You can also donate directly to any of our programs and projects by cheque or cash. All donations of $20 and over are eligible for a charitable donation tax receipt.

Gift card donations

Donate gift cards to help refugees settle in British Columbia. This is an easy way to make an impact, whether you’re an individual, part of a school, book club, or faith community. Your donation will provide refugees with the basic things they need as they start over in Canada.
