The Matthew House Team is participating in the Scotia Bank Waterfront Charity Run in Toronto
This weekend I am participating in the Scotia Bank Charity Run in downtown Toronto, in the 5 k walk.
Matthew House is one of my favorite charities, it is a small shelter for refugees in down town Toronto, that welcomes refugees who arrive with nothing but the shirt on their backs and no where to turn. You may have heard me talking about it, sharing some of the amazing stories. I have met so many wonderful people from many different countries since I became involved with Matthew House. Our core value is to offer ‘hope at the end of the refugee highway', by offering shelter and food, completing confusing refugee application papers, medical and counseling referrals, orientation to life in Canada, assistance in finding apartments, offering monthly drop-ins, and summer camp. It has been my pleasure to be on the board of directors of this unique charity for several years now.
