Thanks to 2 large community donations and all of your support through this GoFundMe, The Welcome Inn has surpassed the cost to repair the sewer line in just 24 hours! Thank you to everyone who donated and shared to support our cause! If you'd like to support our day-to-day operations, any further donations would be greatly appreciated.

The Welcome Inn is a dynamic community centre that dares to imagine that there is a different and more vibrant path forward for ALL members of our community.

Together with the community, Welcome Inn works to alleviate poverty, loneliness and marginalization, challenges that our community members face on a daily basis, by offering supportive relationships, promoting wellness and providing capacity-building opportunities.

Every day, we open our doors to children, seniors, families, and individuals, offering vital supports, meaningful relationships, and a true sense of belonging.

Today, we’re facing an urgent infrastructure crisis that threatens the very heart of our work.

A major crack and multiple blockages in our main sewer line require immediate full replacement. The cost of this emergency repair is approximately $20,000, and unfortunately, it cannot wait. We have had to pause key programs that so many in our community depend on.

Covering this unexpected cost means diverting resources away from our core services, including our food bank, seniors program, and settlement supports, at a time when demand for these services is higher than ever.

We’re turning to you, our neighbours, friends, and supporters, for help.

With your support, we can:

-Complete the urgent sewer line replacement

-Avoid further disruptions to essential programs

-Continue building a strong, inclusive, and resilient community

Every gift, whether $20, $200, or more, makes a real impact. Your generosity will help us meet this challenge head-on without compromising the programs that make Welcome Inn a lifeline for so many.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others.

On behalf of all of us at Welcome Inn, thank you for standing with us in this critical moment—and for helping us continue to serve with care, commitment, and love.
