Why is your support essential The Hope Centre and the Welland Community?
​
Every year, the Welland community looks forward to Julia's Hope Cup a celebration of the life of Julia Turner and her humanitarian spirit, while raising funds in support of The Hope Centre.
Funds raised will go towards The Hope Centre's food security programs. Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020 over 5,000 individuals who live in Welland have used their emergency food bank, that is 10% of the population of Welland.
​
The Hope Centre supports more than 1,000 individuals and families each month who are experiencing food insecurity through their emergency food bank and community lunch program. 25% of individuals accessing these programs are children and youth under the age of 18 years old.
​
We’re taking steps to end hunger, and we need you with us! We belong to an amazing community with generous individuals and local businesses. We hope we can count on your support to help us reach our fundraising goal of $40,000!
