Bring Recovery Home to Central & North Vancouver Island
A huge thank you to every donor who gave on Giving Tuesday!
Together we raised $85,967 from individuals and organizations, the first $50,000 was matched by our generous anonymous donor, for a grand total of $135,967!
help open the Parksville Treatment Centre – the first Island Health operated Bed-Based treatment facility serving our region.
Across Central and North Vancouver Island, people seeking help for substance-use challenges face a reality that is as heartbreaking as it is urgent. Alcohol and drug use is one of the leading causes of death on Vancouver Island.
We’re inviting our community to come together and make a meaningful difference. Your donation will help create a space where recovery is accessible, dignified, and close to home.
“Right now, people on Vancouver Island who need addiction treatment often have nowhere close to turn. Many have to leave their home communities or the Island entirely, just to get help.”
