Refugee Family Fundraiser – A Night to Remember
On the evening of September 27, the Lower Hall of our church was filled with music, laughter, and heartfelt community spirit as we gathered for a special Refugee Family Fundraiser. Together, we shared singalongs, beloved tunes, and even had the joy of meeting the Afghan refugee family we are supporting through an online connection.
Thanks to your generosity, we raised $16,500 that evening.
On top of that, one of James Bay community members who's not even from our congregation generously stepped in to cover the family’s pre-arrival expenses through the end of the year. With this incredible act of kindness, our total now stands at $21,300!
Several photos from this unforgettable evening are now available, capturing the warmth, joy, and solidarity of everyone who came together for this cause.
But the journey doesn’t end here. The family’s path to safety and a new life in Canada is still filled with challenges and expenses. Our fundraising continues, and every contribution matters.

Every small donation counts and directly helps save lives. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. And please watch how Yasin, the brother of the family’s mother, and Imran, one of the family’s sons whose journey from the USA to Canada we recently shared, thanked the community during our latest Sunday service.
