Join The Welcome Circle

A Simple Way to Create Lasting Stability for Refugee Families

Every year, thousands of refugee claimant families arrive in Metro Vancouver with no housing, no income, and no support system.

You can help provide them with safe housing, guidance, and community by joining the Welcome Circle as a monthly donor.

The Challenge Newcomer Families Face

When families arrive seeking refuge, they often come with nothing but hope for a safer future. Many arrive with:

  • No housing

  • No income

  • No support networks

  • No knowledge of what to do next

These families are already carrying the weight of displacement, uncertainty, and the lingering fear that they will fall into deeper crisis instead of finding the shelter they’re seeking.

They should not have to rebuild their lives on their own.

“Having a place to live meant everything.”

You Can Help Families Rebuild

For more than 20 years, Journey Home Community has helped refugee families move from homelessness and worry to stability and a sense of belonging. Each year, our volunteers and donors help hundreds of families:

  • Secure transitional housing

  • Provide food and basic necessities

  • Navigate unfamiliar systems

  • Build community and connections

Refugee families don’t arrive on a schedule. They need housing, food, and support quickly. Monthly donors form the backbone of their support network, generating over $112,000 annually to provide predictable, immediate support to new arrivals starting their lives in Canada.

Becoming a Monthly Donor is Simple

It only takes a few quick steps to set up a monthly donation. We will process it automatically, and you can cancel at any time.

  1. Choose your monthly gift.

  2. Your donation is automatically processed each month.

  3. Refugee families find the safety they came here for.

By joining the Welcome Circle, you become part of a community of donors who believe that every family deserves stability, dignity, and belonging as they rebuild their lives in the Lower Mainland.

Your Welcome Matters

Without support, many refugee families face homelessness and isolation when they arrive, and must learn to live in an unfamiliar country on their own. But with your consistent help, they find safe housing, guidance, and the stability they need to begin again.

Your monthly giving provides predictable, sustainable revenue that allows Journey Home Community to plan confidently, maintain transitional housing units, and respond quickly when families arrive in Metro Vancouver.
