THANK YOU!

We are so grateful for the support of our community as we have been able to fundraise by selling our Cups of Comfort to ensure we can host families in a safe and warm environment throughout the cold months ahead. Our program is completely volunteer-run so we rely on the support of our community to provide resources and gathering space.

If you would like to donate or purchase a Cup of Comfort we still have a couple left and are happily offering FREE delivery in the Cowichan Valley.
