Sponsor A Family

The first Christmas in Canada is especially hard for refugees who have left everything behind as they flee their home country to escape persecution and violence. You can give the gift of HOPE and HEALING this Christmas by ensuring that a refugee family has presents under the tree for their first Christmas in Canada. 

Make a Special Year-End Gift

Like charities across Canada, Matthew house is facing significant financial challenges due to the current social, political, and economic environment. These pressures are putting our ability to welcome and support the  men, women, and children arriving in Windsor-Essex seeking safety and a fresh start. With a special, one-time gift this Christmas (or year-end) you can help ensure vulnerable refugees find a safe place to call HOME, supports to restore their dignity and HOPE, and people to call FAMILY.

All donations received before 11:59pm on December 31st will be eligible for a charitable tax receipt to claim on your 2025 income taxes.

Take the Challenge

We are inviting businesses, schools, churches, and  community groups to take the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge and collect 12 different items in support of vulnerable newcomers this Christmas. 12 Days is a fun way to work as a family, team, or community group to make a difference in the lives of refugees. Challenge your members, students, coworkers, or staff today!
