“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.”

“Thank you to everyone at Village of Hope Niagara. As a Dad of 3 young children, with a loving wife, it was devastating to walk into your charity and admit we hadn't eaten anything for over a day. 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.”
Two years in a row. Thank you.
