About Raphael House

At Raphael House, we support families and connect them to community in their pursuit of life.

Initially, we provide families facing food insecurity with free, fresh, groceries and other basic necessities and then expand into other areas of support. Our vision is to provide a neighbourhood house where families facing challenging times can be supported.

The need in Langley is overwhelming. Currently we are serving 320+ families each week, representing over 1200 people, with a wait list of over 100 families.

Join us as we try to reach our goal of eliminating the wait list and being able to help the families who need it the most.
