Care for Refugees

Overview

Toronto is the most diverse city in North America, packed to the brim with world-famous sports teams, respected universities and competitive global companies. Because of Toronto’s rich ethnic and cultural background, Send Relief’s ministry center is specifically dedicated to mobilizing individuals and churches to meet the tangible needs of international immigrants in the Greater Toronto Area by serving those experiencing poverty and navigating the difficult migration process.

 

 

What We Do

The Send Relief Ministry Center in Hamilton, focuses on addressing poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, and the needs of refugees and newcomers such as English classes. With a vision inspired by Isaiah 61:1-4, the center aims to bring good news to the poor, heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to captives. Emphasizing community strengthening and care for refugees, the center operates a “Better Together Initiative” that connects newcomers with local churches for support, integration, and discipleship in community. Hamilton’s diverse population with a significant number of refugees presents unique opportunities for the center to serve and reflect the community’s diversity in its leadership and initiatives, including an affordable housing project and comprehensive support for assimilating into Canadian society.
