Areas of Action

In the past couple of years, people have experienced job loss and food insecurity. Many individuals have lost their homes or are at risk of losing their shelter. The demand for mental health services has skyrocketed. There has been a tragic increase in the number of people who are dying from accidental overdoses. More families are on the edge of poverty. Stress is high.

There are, however, many things in our community that have not changed. Our care and compassion for one another. Our love for everything local. Our sense of community – neighbours helping neighbours.

Because we love #YYJ, from Victoria to Sooke to Sidney and the Southern Gulf Islands, we will rally. We continue to rally our energy, time and talents, and where we can, our dollars to serve our community.
