St. Matthew's Anglican Church - Refugee Committee

We do different types of sponsorships. The majority of sponsorships are family-link where families living here in Winnipeg ask us to sponsor their relatives who are often living in refugee camps. The families are the main support for the newcomers when they arrive. Over the years we have done full-sponsorships where we are responsible for both the financial and social-emotional support for the family as they settle into life in Canada. We have also done joint sponsorships where the government provides the financial support and we look after everything else.

The rewards from this Ministry are bountiful: we encounter new and interesting and even become friends with people that we otherwise would not have the opportunity to meet; we witness the joy of families reunited after many years apart, and we know the satisfaction that with the sponsorship these people have the opportunity to start a new life here among us.
