Harbour of Hope Refugee Assistance Society

This year's giving Tuesday is more important than ever as organizations like Harbour Of Hope are restricted on what they can do for fundraising. While the world has been put on pause Harbour of Hope Refugee Assistance Society has been busy helping refugees adapt to their new lives in Canada and preparing sponsorship applications for several families in need of protection. Even though covid-19 travel restrictions have slowed the process down, Harbour of Hope has been busy pre...paring to help an additional 5 families in their dreams for a new life here in Victoria. We can't do it without you! When Harbour of Hope sponsors a refugee to settle in Canada, we pay their rent, and buy their groceries, and take care of all the other incidental costs of living for their first year in Canada. We rely on your generous donations to be able to do that. Head over to https://harbourofhope.org/ to donate to Harbour Of Hope this Giving Tuesday.
