About This Project
“As of May 2022, 100 million individuals were forcibly displaced worldwide, leaving behind their families, places of employment, communities, and homes. Tens of thousands of these individuals have arrived in Canada filled with uncertainty, trauma, and a loss of hope.”
Feels Like Home Newcomers wholeheartedly honours refugees and vulnerable immigrants by providing programs and services in a safe, welcoming, and supportive community of belonging. It is our aim to empower each individual in their quest for meaningful connection, personal development, and overall well-being. We offer Literacy and Life Skill classes, early years programming, and parenting courses from a trauma-informed perspective and work as a team to meet the urgent needs of clients through our outreach and food program. Our deep desire is to extend heartfelt support and to nurture an inclusive, relationally based environment where each participant can flourish and the community thrives.

*GCF operates on the basis of Donor-Advised Funding. It is our utmost goal to meet the Donor’s desire and intent to provide support to particular GCF projects but, ultimately, the responsibility for the disbursement and ministry use of funds is the Great Commission Foundation’s.
*You will receive an official Canadian tax receipt for all eligible donations by the end of February of the following year. Thank you for your support of the mission and programs of The Great Commission Foundation (“GCF”).
