Hello Friends,
Let's help our children look to a bright future. Would you please ask your family and friends to participate in helping local children?
At the end of the day it's not what you have or even what you have accomplished. It's about who you have lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.

Here is a couple charities we have found that are helping.
CYRUS
center
services for YOUTH & FAMILIES
WE ARE: a community-based response to community needs, working with the diverse communities to bring about creative solutions.
WE ARE: dedicated to vulnerable and homeless youth. We are called to offer programs and services to guide and equip youth for success and enhance their quality of life. Our services are designed to meet individual needs.
WE ARE: welcoming to everyone; we work to establish a non-threatening, non-judgemental and supportive environment. We love every youth who walks through our doors, indiscriminately and unconditionally, regardless of where they have been and where they are at today.
WE ARE: always there; Cyrus Centre strives to be a ministry of “being there”. We are available for service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
WE ARE: about relationships with youth, families, landlords, supporters, and the community.

Always have a safe place to go and receive support;
Be free from all forms of exploitation;
Have a roof, without exception, in a safe and supportive environment;
Are empowered and equipped through love, support, encouragement, life skills and acceptance to meet life’s challenges with success.

Welcoming and Supporting Refugee Families in the Lower Mainland
New Hope provides housing and support services for refugee families as they transition into life in Canada. We own and operate a 13-unit apartment building in Surrey, BC and partner with community agencies to help refugee families access resources they may need.
Through our dedicated staff and generous volunteers, we provide support services such as language training, educational assistance, employment opportunities, and more. Moreover, we create a supportive, welcoming community for newcomers to gain their independence and thrive.
We’ve seen the lives of our residents changed immensely and their hope renewed. It is our joy, commitment and passion to continue this mission.
