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, including their food bank and community lunch program. In 2024, The Hope Centre had over 24,000 visits to their food bank and served over 35,000 take-out lunches to help the most vulnerable in our community.
More people than ever are facing food insecurity in our community with more than 1 in 10 Wellanders accessing the food bank.
This year, Julia's Hope Cup is aiming to raise over $60,000 to support The Hope Centre's food security programs.

We’re taking steps to end hunger, and we need the support of our community to help us reach our fundraising goal!
