About Faith Welland Outreach

Established in 2011, Faith Welland Outreach (or 'FWO') is not-for-profit organization based out of the City of Welland, Ontario. Our purpose is simple; to love, lift, and launch those living in our community into purpose. Faith Welland Outreach provides a variety of programs and services to those living in our community, in particular, serving those living in identified low-income neighbourhoods.


With the support of Faith Tabernacle, funds raised in The Grand Parade will be used to support our adult neighbours through weekly groups, serving projects, grocery runs and phone care.
