We are a group of residents from the Cowichan Valley raising funds and organizing to sponsor a family of Syrian refugees to resettle in the Cowichan Valley. At the moment, we’re in most need of financial donations. Help us reach our goal of raising $40,000.00 to support a refugee family for their first 12 months in Canada. Donations can be made through the “donate now” button on our website and wi
ll receive a charitable income tax receipt. As an alternative donation method, you can also send a cheque made out to St. John the Baptist Anglican Church. IMPORTANT: Please include a Memo notation reading “Refugee Sponsorship” to ensure your cheque is deposited into the correct account. Cheques can be mailed to the St. John parish office at 3295 Cobble Hill Road, Cobble Hill, BC, V0R 1L6. All donations over $100 CDN made by cheque will be issued a charitable income tax receipt by St. We will need help with many time-intensive tasks. Please contact Ruth at [email protected] or Andrew at [email protected] if you have time to donate or if you are able to help with any of the tasks mentioned on our website. If you have duplicates of any household items, or would like to purchase any household items to donate to the family of Syrian newcomers, please contact Andrew at [email protected] to arrange for delivery and storage.
