Join the Ride for Refuge!
We are excited to invite you to join us for the Ride for Refuge!
This is our biggest annual fundraising campaign, bringing together members of our community to support the FCJ Refugee Centre.
Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 to continue our mission to empower refugees and all uprooted people. The funds will help our most vulnerable community members and programs.
This unique fundraising campaign is now live – culminating with the ride/walk on October 1st, where we will gather, do the ride/walk and celebrate the resilience of our community.
Support newly arrived refugees in Toronto by donating today or joining our team!

The Ride for Refuge is a family-friendly, in-person fundraising ride/walk held on Saturday, October 1, 2022 in support of charities that help people needing refuge from danger, hardship, and abuse.
On RIDE Day we gather to move our hearts and our legs in solidarity with all who are affected by a callous world that ignores their pain, their needs, and their great potential.
