  • Did you know it’s our 15th anniversary this year at Matthew House Ottawa? Tell us below how YOU heard about or got involved with Matthew House Ottawa! We’d love to hear your stories. Almost fifteen years ago, a simple yet powerful vision took root, to provide refuge, hope, and dignity to those seeking a new beginning. On April 13th, 2010, Matthew House Ottawa officially became incorporated, marking the start of a journey fueled by compassion and community. Since then, we have: Welcomed over 800 refugee claimants, offering them a place to call home. Furnished over 10,000 homes, ensuring families can begin anew with comfort and dignity. Grown to a team of 45 dedicated staff and 70 incredible volunteers who make our mission possible. Expanded to 26 homes, opening doors to even more refugees in need. As we mark this incredible milestone, we are thrilled to unveil our special anniversary logo, a symbol of our unwavering commitment to serving those in need. Throughout the year, we will share many past milestones of our early origins, and we will continue to unveil exciting updates, stories, and ways to get involved as we celebrate this journey together! To everyone who has been part of this journey, our staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners—thank you. Your support has helped us build not just houses, but homes, futures, and a stronger community. Stay tuned as we continue this mission together! #MHO15Years #BuildingHope #refugeeswelcome

  • "It's about restoring dignity to people. It's about providing comfort to those in need." ?? This is why we do what we do at Matthew House. In 2024, that looked like: ?? Opening 10 homes with 250 beds for people in need ?? Helping 388 refugees avoid homelessness ?? Finding 189 permanent homes for our clients ??? Furnishing 1800 homes through our furniture bank With your support, we know we can accomplish even more, together, in 2025.

  • Most people are shocked to learn how many of their neighbours desperately need a bed. It's why our Furniture Bank exists: to help people get the essentials they need to start a new life, whether they're overcoming homelessness, or seeking refuge in a new country. We can't thank the folks at IKEA Ottawa enough for their support making this vision a reality.?

    IKEA strongly believes in being a good neighbour, and although donating furniture is only one way that we help those in need, we're proud of the impact we've made in our local community. Throughout 2024, IKEA Ottawa has donated enough mattresses to Matthew House Ottawa to stack more than 4.5 Peace Towers high! Matthew House Ottawa is a non-profit organization that provides shelter, furnishings, and community to refugees and those transitioning to permanent housing. This collaboration not only gives the mattresses a second life by diverting them from waste, but it also helps to reduce furniture poverty within the National Capital Region. #IKEA #IKEACanada #GoodNeighbour #Sustainability #Circularity #Ottawa

  • This past Sunday, Matthew House Ottawa proudly stood in solidarity at the local rally to support the city's plans for newcomer reception centers. This initiative marks a critical step forward in providing a dignified and supportive start for refugees, a group that faces innumerable challenges upon arrival. Research and experience tell us that targeted support like this leads to better long-term outcomes, including higher employment rates and more stable housing solutions. It contrasts sharply with the often detrimental effects of placing refugees in regular shelters or leaving them without assistance. Join us in advocating for systems that uplift rather than undermine. Learn more about how you can support and participate in these life-changing initiatives. https://lnkd.in/e52nj29k #RefugeeSupport #CommunitySolidarity #MatthewHouseOttawa
