Local Help for Ukrainian Refugees
Share Hope: Ukraine
Donation Directions
The Share Hope Refugee Sponsorship Committee (Share Hope) has been active since 2014 within the Diocese of Prince George. Within this time, we’ve helped settle and sponsor refugee families from both Iraq and Syria. In the past year we were turning our attention to the situation unfolding in Afghanistan. We are currently focusing our efforts now to help people fleeing war torn Ukraine.
To that effort we are collecting donations to support both the temporary and permanent resettlement of people from the Ukraine to the Diocese of Prince George. For more info email PG.ShareHope@gmail.com. While our founding members are from the local Roman Catholic parishes in Prince George and expanded to Smithers, we welcome everyone to join in our efforts. Ukrainian Refugees fill out an application to qualify and receive funds raised.
Share Hope has had an active participation with members of other faith-based organizations as well, such as Grace Anglican and St Michael and All Angels Anglican church. Currently the strength of Share Hope is over 30+ active volunteers with many others who are standing by to help if called upon.
We are collecting funds throughout Prince George and neighbouring communities. Donations to Share Hope can receive a charitable tax receipt. The funds are directed by the Share Hope Refugee Sponsorship Committee and administered through the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince George. We also accept online donations through Canada-Helps and e-Transfers, or by cheque. When donating, please note the community you are from. The funds raised will be used locally to support multiple families and/or individuals. If there are unused funds the monies will be directed to a Canadian Charitable organization working in support of efforts overseas in Ukraine.
