Letter from the President
As President of the Vancouver Care Society, I’d like to personally thank our community partners and supporters. Without your generosity, the outreach work we do to bring dignity, compassion, and practical support to vulnerable communities would not be possible.
Our mission is simple but urgent: to alleviate human suffering, foster hope, and stand alongside those too often overlooked. Every contribution — whether time, resources, or financial support — strengthens our ability to serve.
If you are interested in becoming a partner or supporting our mission, please connect with us directly at partners@vancaresociety.ca
Together, we can build healthier, more compassionate communities.
Amanda’s Vision
“With over 10 years of experience in leadership and as a support worker helping people navigate complex systems of treatment and housing, I believe care must be rooted in compassion and connection. My focus is on making sure Indigenous voices and vulnerable communities are not just supported, but truly heard. As Treasurer and Community Engagement Coordinator of VanCare Society, I am committed to ethics and accountability—ensuring that every dollar entrusted to us flows directly into frontline care.”
