Welcome Inn Community Centre hasn't added a story.
Every matched or doubled donation makes a huge difference!
$10 - $20 - $40 - $80 . . . $160 . . . HOW HIGH CAN YOU GO?
Matching or, better, doubling a donation made by your friend or family member is a tangible step YOU can take to help our entire community in the industrial heart of Hamilton. But, it's not just a matter of how high the donations get, because everyone can really help us out by challenging as many your friends and family members to donate as possible.
10 friends - 20 friends - 40 friends . . . HOW FAR IS YOUR REACH?
At a grassroots organization like Welcome Inn, every
donation--even $10--is a major donation!
Dare to Double It: Welcome Inn's Pandemic Recovery Fundraiser
Over the past two years, visits to
our Food Bank have increased by 69.9% and are up to
18,230 visits. Help us expand our services and increase capacity.
The children are now back onsite for their Learning and Fun Afterschool Program. Help us introduce new mental health activities into the curriculum.
Supports for Recent Immigrants to Canada have grown, and our staff are now providing in-depth immigration support to 6 families. We've also added translation services to our tax clinics. This year, 160 tax returns were completed, which is up from last year's total of 94.
Welcome Inn also supports seniors and has an incredible Diner's Club, but the three programs just highlighted are the ones that really need your support right now.
Last year's video describes Welcome Inn's efforts surprisingly well, except that this year we're trying to raise $45,000!
