As the Lower Mainland's largest operational charity, we are 4,000 staff and volunteers providing vital community services that are having a positive impact on some of the community's most pressing social issues. Central to our success are:

- The comprehensive community programs that provide the skills, opportunities and confidence people need to achieve their potential

These people, places, and programs come together to create a sense of belonging and a supportive network that have proven time and again to help people achieve their personal goals. For some the impact can be truly transformational and can have an enormous ripple effect on those around them.
