About CLWR

Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) is one of Canada’s oldest relief and development agencies. Formed in 1946 as a response to the humanitarian crisis in post-war Europe, CLWR has grown to serve the world’s poor and disenfranchised in six main ways:
- Refugee resettlement
- Material aid shipments including quilts and kits
- Emergency relief
- Community development
- International Volunteer Service
- Alternative trade
CLWR is a registered charitable organization headquartered in Winnipeg with offices in Toronto and Vancouver as well as an international office in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Funding comes from Lutherans, other Canadians of goodwill and various levels of government.
