Romero House is a charitable organization in Toronto that has provided shelter and support to refugee claimants since 1992. Using a community based approach, volunteers and refugee claimants live together in three houses in a middle-class neighbourhood of west Toronto.Please bring your coats/snowsuits (adult, youth, children, toddlers, infants) to any meeting in October.

We seek donations from the public and we need to show our pride and gratitude to the public.
