Brechin United Church in Nanaimo, through its dedicated sub-group and association ROAR, is spearheading a new initiative in sponsoring refugees from the most vulnerable parts of the world.

Reaching Out Assisting Refugees (ROAR) is a Nanaimo, BC based association of LGBTQ & Allies which has come together to sponsor refugees.

ROAR’s primary purpose is to resettle sexual and gender minority refugees to safety in Canada, specifically to the Regional District of Nanaimo. This includes private sponsorships, supporting inland refugee claimants, and may include supporting government sponsored refugees.

DONATIONS CAN GO TO EITHER BRECHIN'S GENERAL WORK OR TO ITS REFUGEE FUND
