This is not a ‘view from the pew’, but one looking towards the bell tower over our newly repaired roof.

This past Sunday was Pledge Day at Knox and we were thrilled with the response to the ‘One Roof for All’ campaign.

We received pledges totalling over $100,000, which will cover more than half the cost of the roof.

To all who pledged, and to everyone who has already donated, we say, Thank You! ☺️

If you would like to help us meet all our expenses, you can donate through a variety of ways: https://www.knoxottawa.ca/news/one-roof-for-all

We’re excited to announce our 10 for Hope campaign, an effort to increase our monthly supporters. 🫶
​
By giving $10 monthly to Restoring Hope, you help us provide assurance that we’ll be able to continue to open our shelter doors 7 nights per week.

Why give monthly?

Recurring giving allows us to plan ahead and provide stable, ongoing care for the youth who walk through our doors. Monthly donations help keep our shelter open seven nights a week, as well as provide meals, essential supplies, housing support, and caring staff who are available in moments of crisis.
