Build Hope

Become a monthly donour today.

The positive impact you can create.

Build Hope is St. Matt’s monthly giving program—and one of the simplest, most effective ways to support people in our community who are facing homelessness, food insecurity, and isolation.

A monthly gift, starting as low as $10, provides steady, reliable funding that strengthens every area of our work. You choose the amount, the impact, and the programs you care most about—while helping St. Matt’s plan with confidence and purpose.

Why monthly giving matters.

Monthly contributions allow us to move beyond crisis response and short-term fixes. Predictable funding means we can provide consistent, dependable support—connecting seniors and families with food, housing stability, mental health supports, and pathways toward greater security.

When support is steady, impact is deeper—and lives change more sustainably.

Build Hope

Affordable. Flexible. Effective

Monthly giving is an easy, manageable way to make a lasting difference. You’ll join a community of neighbours who believe in compassion, dignity, and practical solutions—and you’ll know your generosity is creating ongoing impact right here at home.

“Knowing there are people who show up for me every month has changed everything. Build Hope gives me more than food or help—it gives me peace of mind. I don’t feel forgotten anymore.”
