Donations & Fundraising

Imagine the courage it takes and the anxiety that follows when you arrive in a foreign country where the only language you speak is not spoken and you do not know anybody? Now Imagine you have your whole family with you or you are a single mother with her children or youth without family? How do you begin your settlement journey?

 

This is where African Community Services of Peel comes in. Your donation, however small, allows ACS to help clients in the time of their greatest need. ACS appreciates donations and in-kind support from local businesses and community members and thanks you for your decision to donate to us. Your donation helps us achieve our mission and mandate and improves the lives of new Canadians in their settlement process.

We thank you for considering donating to us and no donation is too small.  We welcome all donations, whether it is a one-time gift, a monthly or recurring donation, or a planned gift. By donating to ACS, you enhance our capacity to provide highly effective services with positive outcomes for our clients in a confidential culturally, and language-appropriate manner where all clients feel respected and validated.
