Sponsoring a child in the Angel Tree program involves providing them with a gift from their incarcerated parent through Prison Fellowship Canada. The approximate gift value is $40/child. You can select local delivery or remote sponsorship. If you’re willing to deliver the gift, you can specify the distance you are prepared to drive in kilometers. (Possible locations might be Hamilton, Brantford, St. Catharines, Niagara) Depending on your selection, you will be paired with a family and provided with more information.  With the help of prison chaplains, Prison Fellowship Canada collects from prisoner parents: The names of their children and their agesA list of gift ideas for a gift they would like to give to their child, and then,A handwritten gift tag to attach to the gift itself.For further information reach out to Brenda Hilling - [email protected]

What is Family Night? Hey Hope Families, we are excited to offer a new initiative we are calling - Hope Kids Family Nights!  Family Nights is designed for parents and their children in grades SK to 5.   Our aim is to come alongside families, equipping them to train up their child in the way they should go so that they will not depart from the Christian faith (Proverbs 22:6).  Our hope is to bring families together by exploring fundamental Gospel truths through the use of a catechism to encourage open discussion surrounding God, rooting His truths in our hearts, and growing a deeper relationship with Jesus.  Psalm 78:7 - setting hope in God; know and obey His commands. Both parents and their child are required to register to attend. Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Many international students spend the holidays away from family. You can make a difference this Christmas by opening your home, sharing a meal, and offering warm hospitality. A simple lunch or dinner and quality time can mean the world to a student far from home. Christmas Friendship Families will run from December 24 to 29, 2025. When registering, you’ll select your hosting date and whether your meal will be lunch or dinner.                                                                                        Hosts should: Welcome at least two studentsProvide transportation to and from your homeAccommodate dietary needs (halal, vegetarian, vegan)Provide references prior to approvalThis is not a time for theological discussion or persuasion, but an opportunity to build friendships, show kindness, and create a welcoming environment where students feel valued. Through warmth, patience, and grace, we reflect Christ’s love in action—often the most powerful testimony of all. “I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Matthew 25:35 As a host, you have the special opportunity to extend Christ’s love and genuine hospitality to students from a variety of faiths, backgrounds, and worldviews, making these gatherings both meaningful and memorable. RSVP is open now! Please note that language barriers or student schedules may occasionally affect plans, so we encourage hosts to confirm details closer to the date.
