We Wish You a Warm Holiday Season. We Invite You to Share the Warmth.
This holiday season, the Centre for Newcomers invites you to share your love and light with a donation to refugees. Each donation brings warmth, hope, and a chance for a new beginning. Together, we can provide comfort to those who have lost so much.
All donations will go directly toward CFN's Refugee Emergency Basic Needs Fund. From April 1, 2023, to now, CFN has helped 8,393 refugees. We cannot do this without your help.
In today's tumultuous world, over 120 million people—one in every 69 individuals, or 1.5% of the entire world's population—are forcibly displaced, and Canada is seen as a shining beacon of hope in their journey toward safety. Every time there is a worldwide crisis, we see people arriving in Calgary with hope in their back pocket.
Let’s turn empathy into action and create a brighter future for refugees.
Your kindness matters!
Understanding the Refugee Crisis
In a world where many individuals and families are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters, a crucial lifeline emerges. Refugees arrive in new countries overwhelmed by challenges such as unstable housing, financial difficulties, and cultural shifts. Through a variety of programs and initiatives, the Centre for Newcomers is dedicated to providing much-needed support to these individuals, helping them rebuild their lives. This Holiday Season, one of the most impactful ways you can help is by donating to the Emergency Refugee Basic Needs Fund. This fund is essential, and your contributions can significantly change lives.
Every year, millions of people seek refuge, fleeing their original homes in search of safety and a fresh start. Many of these individuals come with nothing more than the clothes they wear and the scars of their traumatic pasts.
Your support for the Centre for Newcomers is vital. Donations help refugees access services like housing, medical care, and counselling as they take their first steps towards a new life.
The Centre for Newcomers: A Lifeline for Refugees
The Centre for Newcomers offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to assist refugees in smoothly integrating into their new communities and an important element is the Emergency Refugee Basic Needs Fund, created to provide urgent support. This fund ensures that newcomers facing the most difficult situations can access essentials such as clothing, food, and temporary housing.
Impacts of Your Donation
Your donation can transform multiple aspects of a refugee's life. For example, securing emergency housing is often the first priority. When families arrive, having a safe place to stay can alleviate some of their immediate stress. Donations to the Emergency Refugee Basic Needs Fund provide temporary housing solutions for those in distress.
Additionally, your contributions help secure vital items necessary for daily living. Refugees frequently lack basic necessities, including personal hygiene items, bedding, and kitchen supplies. Your donation plays a prominent role in enhancing their day-to-day experiences.
The Ripple Effect of Your Support
Every donation you make sends ripples throughout the community. It addresses immediate needs while promoting long-term integration. Refugees who receive aid are more likely to thrive, contributing positively to their communities and the economy.
Furthermore, your action stands as a powerful statement of compassion and solidarity, encouraging others to join the cause. Together, we can create an environment where refugees feel supported and valued.
Changing Lives Together
Supporting the Centre for Newcomers Emergency Refugee Basic Needs Fund goes beyond temporary assistance. It is about empowering individuals and families to establish their new lives. Your donation, regardless of size, is important.
