Our Story

Hope Boxes began as a ministry of Riverside Community Church in 2013.

Riverside is located in a small community in Northern Ontario, Canada. A group of women from the church saw a need in their community and gathered to create the first handful of boxes. Within weeks they saw financial provision come so that they could create 20 boxes and Hope Box Canada was created.

Since then, Coordinator Jenita Naylor, has partnered with a number of churches, Pregnancy Care Centres, funeral homes, medical centres and Ambassadors across the country. All of our Ambassadors have experienced pregnancy and infant loss in some way.

You are not alone and we are here for you.
