Financial donations are used to support the needs of our arriving guests, such as grocery cards, emergency shelter, and other necessities not covered by other programs. Our single biggest expense is grocery cards and ensuring access to food share programs is available to newcomers.
100% percent of donations we receive go toward assisting displaced Ukrainians on Vancouver Island. Staff are paid by separate funding from the Government of British Columbia. We do not use general donations for staff wages. (Please note that we do pay fees of 3.2% on all credit card donations). We post weekly financial updates here.
As a BC registered Society (Society number: S0077418), we are legally unable to provde tax receipts.
