We're bringing families back to the table with our autumn Harvest of Hope. Again we're providing over 400 family food hampers, and 140 seniors food hampers with all the trimmings for Thanksgiving meals for our neighbours in need, in addition to our regular programs and services. This is all made possible by your donations — please share, if you're able to.
Thanksgiving is a time of abundance for many, and of scarcity and hardship in our community, for too many. Please share your blessings of the season with those in our community who do not have enough to eat, and whose shelter is fragile.
Funds donations of any amount can be made safely and conveniently online at our secure site https://villageofhopeniagara.org/donate — We gratefully accept credit, debit, e-transfer, and cash and cheques also, made payable to Village of Hope Niagara, 2540 South Service Road, Lincoln, Ontario L0R 1S0. In person donations can also be made with debit or credit. Tax receipts are issued for all financial donations.
Harvest of Hope is our Annual Thanksgiving time of sharing and caring, for our neighbours in need. During Harvest of Hope, we come together, as a community of compassion, with empathy and generosity, for our neighbours. Our volunteers are making Harvest Hampers for a Thanksgiving of Hope. Through your donations of food and funds to Village of Hope Niagara, your generosity provides food security, programs of support and empowerment, and hope to those who need.
It takes a Village . . . serving our community of Lincoln!
Where there is need, here there is Hope.

“ Last week, I was told to go see Village of Hope Niagara for help with my hydro bill. Lived in Vineland my entire life, my kids go to local school. Embarrassed to even send my kids to school in case someone heard we were living in dark. Joe called and advocated for me and by next day! Lights were on!!! Thank you Joe and Village of Hope Niagara ”

“I registered today at Village of Hope Niagara. I had no money, hydro disconnected, went with so much hesitation and embarrassment. I spent over an hour there, VoHN reconnected my hydro, help me plan a budget and filled my fridge with food. My 3 children received all new knapsacks and supplies. Words don't even begin to say Thank You. As a resident in Beamsville for over 22 years, it's nice to know we have somewhere to turn when we need it most.”

I hardly got the words out and volunteers were taking us to the food room. We went from feeling like failures, deflated, to having hope that someone cares.”
