Help a Child Start the School Year with Confidence!
Village of Hope Niagara Back to School Campaign is on now – Sponsor a Child for $75 – The children are just beginning their Summer Holidays, but we have to be preparing for their return in September. At Village of Hope Niagara the children of 100s of client families will be ready for the first day of school thanks to the support of Village of Hope Niagara and every donation small or large that makes our work possible.
When you receive our card in the mail, please help us with your donation, to be able to equip these children for their year ahead. We send them off with all grade appropriate supplies and knapsacks on their first day, and we support them throughout the school year with healthy snack food and assistance along the way.
For just $75, you can sponsor a child and provide the essential school supplies they need to begin the school year on equal footing with their classmates, or a donation of another amount.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
Please give today. Together, we can ensure every child starts the school year with hope, opportunity, and the tools to succeed.

“ 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.”

Three years in a row. Thank you.
Readers' Choice has announced their 2025 Winners list on December 4, and Village of Hope Niagara is delighted to have been chosen again - 3rd year in a row – This year Readers' Choice had no Lincoln/Grimsby area. Participants chose Village of Hope Niagara in the St. Catharines category.
It's a welcome recognition to win (as we did in 2023 and 2024), and the recognition enhances our visibility, raising awareness of the need in Lincoln and of the work we do to serve our community, especially for those in the community who may not be aware that Hope is near. Your recognition of the work we do in our community means the world to us, our volunteers, and our “neighbours in need” who we serve. Thank you all so much.
Thank you for choosing Village of Hope Niagara, again. https://best-businesses.thereaderschoice.ca/o/st-catharines/readers-choice-2025-winners/services/best-non-profit-foundation?
Thank you once again for this wonderful recognition. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact, and contribute to our community.
“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.”
Make It Monthly - You can make a very large impact in our community with a small monthly donation, and our page makes that very simple…
When made monthly, 50 cents a day, a dollar a day or what you're able to donate, sustains our programs and enables us to assist Lincoln families through difficult times. We're the bridge that keeps their lights on, keeps them in their shelter, and with food in their fridge. Join our High Hopes club as a monthly donor, and help us help our neighbours.
