Food, shelter, government assistance, a place to belong . . . just some of the necessities that Matthew Houses offer to women and children arriving in Toronto, Windsor and now Ottawa, with nowhere to go.

We consider Matthew Houses to be homes of hope at the end of the refugee highway. So, for 2010, CBWOQ budgeted a total of $12,000 to give to Toronto and Windsor's Matthew Houses. In 2011, we will add the "newest" Matthew House - Matthew House, Ottawa, to our budget.

Your gifts allow us to support these homes of hope in ways that are practical and significant. Thank you.
