How You can Help Refugees Settle in Waterloo Region
Yes, we have been welcoming our newest neighbours even during the pandemic. We are greatly appreciative to those who have reached out to us via telephone, email and social media. While we hope that we haven’t missed any offers of support, here are 3 different ways you can help Reception House as we continue to welcome refugees in Waterloo Region.
Donation of in-kind items
If you’d like to donate in-kind items, we ask that you re-direct these items to Thrift on Kent or ReStore Habitat For Humanity Waterloo Region. We simply don’t have the space and resources for your kind generosity.
Volunteer with Reception House
If you would like to volunteer, please complete our volunteer form below and we will be in touch. When you apply to volunteer, please add any information we should know to the last section.
Financial Donations
If you’re able to, a financial donation will help us provide support to newcomers, such as mobility aids, medical care that is not covered by OHIP and dental work.
Are you a landlord?
If you are a landlord and can assist us, please visit Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership and complete the form on Step 2.
Are you a Family Doctor?
If you’re a family doctor, please visit Waterloo Region Immigration Partnership portal and complete the form on Step 3.
Ride for Refuge!
Join us for Ride for Refuge on Oct 2 while we raise money for refugee resettlement while walking, riding, rolling, gaming, adventuring and more!
Join one of our teams or make a donation to one of the teams raising money for Reception House!
Thank you for making Not Another Gala a success!
Reception House Waterloo Region is a community-based organization that provides a warm welcome to government-assisted refugees.
Our programs and services assist refugees throughout their settlement & integration process, enabling them to lead healthy and productive lives in their new community.
We start by providing the basics: temporary residence, orientations to life in Canada and down the line, we empower those we serve to find meaningful employment, improve their language skills and heal from trauma and loss.
