What Makes Us Different

Safe Housing First

Guest houses with or without housing support — matched to people, not systems.

Wraparound Support

​Food, household items, transportation, documents, employment help, and connection.

Community & Belonging

Buddy support, healing arts, cultural gatherings, and 24/7 response.

Partnership-Led

We don’t work alone. We fill gaps with trusted local partners.

Built with community partners

Grassroots International works alongside local nonprofits, settlement agencies, crisis services, employers, volunteers, and community groups.

Our role is to respond quickly, coordinate support, and fill gaps when systems are overwhelmed.

How volunteers make this possible

Grassroots International is powered by volunteers who offer time, skills, and care — from housing support and transportation to food delivery, translation, and community connection.

Why community support matters

While we work closely with partner organizations, many urgent needs fall outside funded programs. Community donations allow us to respond quickly — providing housing, essentials, transportation, and support when systems are overwhelmed.

At Grassroots International Support Program, we provide a safe haven for those in need, offering support and a sense of community.
