Durham Community Support Group began with a simple belief—that every newcomer deserves to feel at home. What started as a small network of volunteers helping families move into furnished homes has grown into a community movement built on compassion, dignity, and empowerment. Over the years, we’ve walked alongside countless individuals and families as they navigated housing, education, employment, and integration into Canadian life.
Our story is woven from their journeys, our partnerships, and the dedication of volunteers who believe in creating a community where everyone can thrive. Every act of kindness, every connection made, brings us closer to a future where belonging is not just a hope—it’s a reality.

"Volunteering with DCSG has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Seeing newcomers settle into their new homes and communities reminds me what compassion and community spirit can achieve."

When my family and I arrived in Canada, we had nothing but hope. Durham Community Support Group welcomed us with kindness, helped us find furniture, and guided us through settling in. Today, we feel truly at home.
