Every year, Emmanuel Anglican Church provides grocery store gift cards to bring the holiday spirit into the homes of our clients
This month, the University of Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy and Nutrition’s Kindness Calendar initiative collected four cars-worth of donations to make holiday hampers for our newcomer clients!
GGP’s FundScrip fundraiser is back! You buy gift cards through GGP at face value for stores you already use, and GGP receives a donation from every card sold. No extra cost to you, just extra support for our clients. Gift cards also make easy presents for friends and family who are hard to shop for.

Olivia Ho came to Saskatoon from Guangzhou, China, where she was surrounded by family, friends, a familiar way of life, and a career as a sales manager. Moving to Canada meant leaving almost all of that behind including her children, but Olivia arrived with curiosity, hope, and a willingness to embrace new experiences. “I knew it wouldn’t always be easy, but I also believed that it’s never too late to learn something new or make a change in life.”
