After the success of the 2018 BVOR Fund, the Refugee Hub, the Shapiro Foundation and G. Barrie Landry are relaunching the 2019 BVOR Fund. This fund will cover the sponsor’s portion of the BVOR sponsorship costs.  BVOR Sponsorship groups will be responsible for securing funding or in-kind donations to cover start-up costs such as clothing and furniture. Sponsors can apply for the funds between May 2nd and September 9th or until the fund is exhausted prior to the deadline.

This is an excellent opportunity for those who want to get involved and make a difference.
