Buddy Program

By becoming a Buddy, you’re not just providing support—you’re helping create a welcoming and inclusive community where newcomers can rebuild their lives with hope and dignity. Together, we can make a lasting difference. 

Open Your Home

Do you have an interest in learning more about what it would be like to become a host?

Partner With Us

Help create kits, welcome or food baskets, or assist with urgent housing needs by creating warming stations, or invite us to talk at with your friends, church, organization or business.

Donate Financially

We are a volunteer-led organization with limited support from the Region of Waterloo. We urgently need help raising money to help provide shelter for Ukrainians in Waterloo Region.

Employment

Are you able to offer employment to Ukrainians? Ukrainians often need to find employment before or within the first few weeks of arriving. Even though many are highly educated they are willing to take on any work and this often means they won't have experience in these areas.

Some may not have the English skills you would normally expect.

Please be patient.
