Takes a Village: 

How You Can Help Canadians Break Free from Debt and Despair​

​

Eleanor* was on the brink of losing her home. A stroke in her senior years left her without income. Legal battles and home repairs stacked up until the weight became too heavy to carry alone.
 

Thankfully, Eleanor found a village.
 

At Christians Against Poverty Canada, we believe no one should face poverty alone. Our Takes a Village campaign is your invitation to rally your own community to make a real difference in the lives of people like Eleanor. Through peer-to-peer fundraising, you can help provide free debt counselling, emotional support, and spiritual care to those in crisis.
