The First Step toward Healing
An Inasmuch Resident Story
“After 3 long flights, I arrived at Vancouver airport. I stepped outside the front doors and took a long, slow breath. I felt so far away from those who were threatening me. I finally felt safe.”
After a long, arduous and sometimes unspeakable journey, the Refugee Claimants we serve can finally exhale. When they arrive at one of our transition homes, they have the first good sleep they’ve had in months. “I was so grateful for a quiet place to rest and heal. No one knew where I was. I could begin to rebuild my life here in Abbotsford.”
Celebrate Good Times
Amazing Generosity
Over 150 people gathered at Northview Church for our dessert fundraiser on February 7. We were thrilled to witness the interest, compassion and generosity of new and long-time supporters.
Our fundraising goal was $50,000 and we surpassed the goal and gained 10 new monthly donors! That’s cause for celebration! Thank you to all donors!!!!
We are looking for 10 more monthly donors to provide stability in our monthly budget. If you are able to respond in this way, click here to give by credit card now

Thank You Clearway Rentals
We are amazed by the generosity of our ministry partner, Clearway Rentals. They generously donated a cargo van for our use which will be so helpful when moving residents into their own rental homes, picking up furniture donations and partnering with HelloFresh to fight food insecurity in the Fraser Valley.
In 2024, Inasmuch redistributed 100,000 pounds of food!

Recent Events
Students in grades 5-8 at MEI, Surrey Christian School and South Abbotsford Church are making a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable in our community. They baked cookies, assembled welcome baskets, wrote letters and donated school backpacks. Some organized a garage sale and donated almost $700 in proceeds! Their prayers and care inspire us in our work.
The women’s Bible study at Clearbrook MB hosted us at their morning gathering. It’s wonderful to learn from their wisdom and life-long faith. They assembled and decorated welcome baskets and sent us on our way with an offering and delicious Valentine’s Day treats.
