Inasmuch Community Society

“Having our own shelter space, food on the table, and emotional and physical support at Inasmuch has given us the confidence and conviction that there is a better tomorrow.

We will always cherish Inasmuch as our home.”

-Refugee Claimant

“Inasmuch helped me and my husband to find love, hope, and family again, after leaving our families. We have an amazing family here which we feel deeply and that made us to be happy and feel secure with our new life.”

-Refugee Claimant from the Middle East

Quote Source“The process of becoming a refugee in Canada is complex and overwhelming but the Inasmuch team tremendously reduced this burden by providing me the necessary spiritual, financial, and social support.

Inasmuch provided me a house, food, clothing. They gave me useful information about other community and government resources that are available for refugee claimants. Inasmuch was home and a true blessing for me. I came across some beautiful people from around the world. The love, food, fun, and warmth I experienced made Inasmuch a terrific home.

The experience I had in Inasmuch was a perfect introduction to true Canadian hospitality and I will forever remain grateful.“

“Suddenly God sends someone to help you by providing a place to stay, three meals a day, transportation to follow your case for refugee claim.”

“This is Inasmuch… I call it angel - the blessed place; taking care for you more than your family, booking a doctor’s appointment for you if you needed, every day watching you and asking: “How do you feel? Are you ok? Don’t need anything?” Getting your papers for work, finding you a job, helping you to get a place for rent, asking friends to furnish your home.”

-Resident from the Middle East

“Inasmuch has tirelessly helped me with my application process, my medical needs, transportation, getting a BC driver's license and, most importantly, the certainty that Inasmuch will unequivocally help me and treat as a human being, rather than as a "client" or a number. Also, I was very impressed by how professional, resourceful, and punctual the Inasmuch team are.

Now, I no longer feel alone in Canada. In fact, I feel that Inasmuch cares about me and will help me with my settlement process in my new country, Canada. Thank you so very much Inasmuch.”
