Welcome

What better way to celebrate the New Year than with an entirely new website!  We hope you like the new look and feel.  We’ve put a lot of work into it to make it better than ever before.  Take a few moments to dive in and explore.

Some of the great new features include…

News items will be added as they happen.  Most recent items will be on the main page and archived items will be listed on the ‘News’ tab.

Sign up for our newsletter!  We will be publishing a newsletter every month to keep you connected and aware of the many happenings and developments at the Urban.  The newsletter will be a celebration of the work that God is doing among us.  You’ll look forward to each copy.

Our Calendar is now on line to help keep all of our helpers and partners aware of events and meeting times.

Donations can now be made directly on line through CanadaHelps.  Additionally we have a number of wish lists for material donations that we are accepting.

And this is just for starters.  We have more things planned for the near future, please come back often.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the new design.  Send us your feedback at webmaster@theurban.ca

Who ARE WE?

We are volunteers who donate our  time and skills to help children and families in our community rise above circumstances into a world of hope. We serve those around us and share the love of Christ through word and deed.

Here is what people in the community are saying:

"The whole community is becoming a much better place to live because of the Urban.  We are getting to know each other and trust is developing"

"The Urban provides a safe place for us to go in the evening"

"It is such a joy to have somewhere to go where we do not have to line up.  There is so much to be said for the fact that we are served at tables three times a week.  We feel human."

"No matter what, we know that we are loved and cared for"

"The Urban is a safe haven to many"

"Eating at the Urban stretches our family's food budget a whole lot"

"This is our Church"
