Christie Refugee Welcome Centre depends on the Ride for Refuge in order to raise funds for so many initiatives that depend entirely on fundraised dollars. For $25 we're able to provide each refugee child in our shelter with a backpack for their first day of school in Canada. An additional $25 will allow us to fill that backpack with school supplies. We had 11 babies born in shelter last year and every $100 buys a baby basket full of necessities for newborn babies and new mothers. The list goes on and includes everything from bedding sets to grocery cards. Your support will make a huge impact on the lives of refugees in Toronto. Thank you so much!
