OUR MISSION

To reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on individuals and our community through support, prevention and education

The Looking Glass Foundation strives to support individuals struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. We offer innovative and accessible programs and services that decrease isolation, instill hope, and sustain recovery for individuals on their road to recovery. As a Foundation, we are aware of the harsh realities of eating disorders, the stigma that exists around these mental illnesses, and the work that still needs to be done in addressing treatment access and gaps. All of our work is grounded in hope, compassion, accessibility and accountability. Every day, we hear and share inspiring stories of our friends, loved ones, colleagues, and community members who have recovered and are thriving. Knowing this, we continue the fight against eating disorders, while sharing the message that recovery is possible. We understand the journey and we are here to help.

Our Vision: A province where everyone who suffers from an eating disorder receives the services they need to support their recovery, and where the stigma of this mental illness is replaced with compassion and understanding.

Our Mission: Looking Glass Foundation’s programs and services decrease isolation, instill hope, and sustain recovery for individuals across British Columbia who are impacted by eating disorders.

The Push for Change Foundation believes all young people deserve to reach their full potential.

The Push for Change believes inspired action can change the world.

The Push for Change believes ending youth homelessness is possible.

The Salvation Army Vancouver Community & Family Services has been serving individuals and families in Vancouver and Burnaby for more than 40 years. Our mandate is to provide services to members of the community, children and families facing serious life challenges such as poverty, isolation, abuse, neglect, homelessness, addiction, hunger and mental illness. We strive to do this with a continuum of care model focusing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs of our clients.

<div>Hello!</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<div></div>
<div>Hope you're doing well.</div>
<div></div>
<div>I'm Aparna Mody. I work at The Salvation Army (Northshore Ministry) as a Kettle Coordinator.</div>
<div></div>
<div>As you may know, the Christmas Kettle Campaign is our largest fundraising drive of the year. With more than 2,000 kettle locations across Canada, the kettle not only raises critical funds but also boosts the Army's visibility and promotes awareness about the causes we support.</div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div>To continue to make the campaign a success, we rely heavily on kind-hearted and compassionate volunteers who would be willing to give a few hours of their day to be a <b>Kettle Host </b>or a <b>Driver/Supervisor</b>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Should you come across any of your members who'd be interested in participating, please have them reach out to me or they could walk up to our office to have a quick chat too. We would very much appreciate your help in sending volunteers our way towards this mighty cause. We are of course very open to hearing your suggestions and receiving any leads from you as well.</div>
<div></div>
<div><b>The Salvation Army's Christmas Kettle campaign will be up and running from the 14</b><b>^th of November until the 23</b>^<b>rd</b><b> of December from Mon-Sat (10-6 p.m.) at multiple locations around the North Shore. </b></div>
<div></div>
<div><b>We look forward to hearing from you. </b></div>
<div></div>
<div>Thank you in advance, for your support and cooperation.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 400">A popular community festival is returning to Richmond this summer. On August 14th, from 10am-3pm, the Sharing Farm is hosting the 12th Annual Richmond Garlic Fest in the award-winning Terra Nova Rural Park!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Highlights for festival-goers include live birds-of-prey flying demonstrations, a celebrated children's area, an expanded farmers market, food trucks with garlic-enhanced dishes, and live entertainment.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Admission to the festival is by donation and is suitable for all ages. Limited parking is available. A bike valet service will be available in a securely guarded area near the festival entrance, so consider cycling or taking transit to this event. All proceeds from the festival go to supporting the Sharing Farm in its mission to provide fresh, healthy, sustainably grown produce to community members facing food insecurity.</span>

For women who have been displaced from their homes and estranged from their families, special occasions can be particularly challenging. Often, women report feeling disconnected from society, invisible and alone.  A Shoebox gift is a powerful reminder for a woman that she has not been forgotten and that she remains a valued and respected member of her community.

​For those giving gifts, The Shoebox Project is a tangible and creative opportunity to give back directly to someone in your very own community. It’s a small, simple gesture of kindness that has an immediate, positive impact on the woman who receives it.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Upside Project’s primary purpose is to spread positivity among communities and empower people of all ages to extend their appreciation and love for others. We aim to elevate people’s spirits and strengthen our community with a collection of student work including, but not limited to: poetry, short stories, artwork, and spoken word performances. </span>
