gifts in kind

When refugees live at Matthew House, we make sure that they have what they need to settle in to their rooms comfortably. This includes clothing for the Canadian climate, bedding, and personal care items.

When refugees are ready to move to a new apartment or home, we provide a Move Out Kit to assist them in setting up their new space! Move Out Kits contain bedding and bathroom linens for a peaceful night’s rest, everything they need to prepare meals at home, and cleaning supplies to keep their new space tidy.
