Outreach Programmes
Poverty Relief
Every week, our team distributes food, essential household items, and emergency support to newcomer families navigating their first months in Canada without a safety net.
No family should have to choose between rent and groceries. Our poverty relief outreach meets people where they are — with dignity, discretion, and no red tape.
- Weekly food hampers for families in need
- Emergency clothing and household essentials
- Referrals to housing and financial support services
Our Partners
