Support Refugees With Something Unique! Get Exclusive Artwork and Help Us Keep Our Door Open
This holiday season, we are thrilled to announce a special, in-person holiday shop, made possible with the support of two incredible artists: Carolina Gajardo and Loly Rico. Carolina, a community artist and educator with extensive experience in inclusive art projects for immigrant and refugee women, uses art as a tool for healing, empowerment, and belonging. She has been a long-time friend of the FCJ Refugee Centre, generously donating her artwork over the years. Loly, our Founder, brings her dedication and talent through beautifully handmade creations.
Our holiday shop is not just about shopping, it’s about coming together as a community. Each piece, whether a painting or a handmade item, is unique and carries the spirit of giving. By purchasing these works, you’re not only finding meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones, but you’re also directly supporting the Centre and the programs that make a difference in people’s lives every day.
This initiative celebrates creativity, community, and generosity. If you’d like to support the Centre while taking home a beautiful work of art, have a look to the gallery in this page and treat yourself with something unique!
Every purchase helps us continue our work and spreads the joy of giving in a truly personal way.
