Local Impact

Bringing neighbours together
We brought together over 3,000 resident volunteers via our Hi Neighbour Initiative to keep neighbourhoods connected and thriving through local events and activities, both in-person and virtually, to help combat isolation and pandemic fatigue.
Redistributing food to those in need
We redistributed 2,658,642 pounds of food from restaurants, grocery stores, and agricultural organizations with the help of seven food recovery organizations in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and Sea to Sky Corridor. Over 3,200 volunteers sorted produce, packed hampers, and made meals in community kitchens, which were then transported and delivered to individuals isolating at home.
Providing flood relief
Jumping in on the ground when devastating floods impacted the Fraser Valley, our local Community Builders were quickly able to identify and respond to gaps and unmet needs. They helped source food, equipment and necessary supplies, advocated for the rights of migrant farm workers, and worked closely with the Skwah First Nation to ensure that basic needs could be met.
