Supporting Ukrainian Refugees: A Call to Action by Grassroots
The situation in Ukraine has left countless lives in disarray. While many grassroots organizations, including passionate individuals, have stepped up to offer respite, there's more work ahead of us.
Immediate Action Needed: With Canada's visa deadline for Ukrainians approaching on March 31st, we foresee a considerable number of Ukrainian refugees seeking shelter in Canada in the upcoming five months. To accommodate this, it's imperative that we bolster our facilities and resources promptly.
Our Journey So Far: In just 18 months, the Waterloo Region Grassroots has made significant strides:
- Over 800 dedicated volunteers.
- 200 hosts have opened their doors to one or more families.
