What Our Community Partners Say
A generous donation from the Rotary Club of Parksville recently enabled Forward House Community Society to replace two vintage stoves and an equally aged washer and dryer. This new equipment is fundamental to our ability to serve the needs of our more than 80 clients who face mental health challenges on a daily basis.
The Saturday Breakfast Club is a free program that brings together the joy of food, play, stories, and song. It is provided on select Saturdays at Munchkinland and operated by the Oceanside Building Learning Together Society in Parksville. The program is designed for children aged birth to eight years of age, along with their parent/caregiver.
Through the remarkable generosity of the Rotary Club, we were able to purchase dry milk for our local food bank, as well as a new freezer and refrigerator for our soup kitchen. These vital resources ensure we can continue to provide fresh, nutritious meals and essential support to the vulnerable individuals and families we serve.
We are incredibly grateful to Rotary Parksville for their generous grant, enabling the installation of an automatic door opener at the Bradley Centre. This upgrade has been transformative in enhancing accessibility for our facility.
SOS is extremely thankful to the Rotary Club of Parksville for their generous support. The grants provided by the Club have allowed SOS to expand our tutoring program and provide healthy, nutritious food to children in our TICTAC and Kids Movement: Play, Express & Grow programs. This assistance addresses needs and also enhances the education, literacy, and self-confidence of local children and youth.
When I heard about Rotary’s donation, so many things we had dreamed about became possible. That moment was pure magic. Thank you, Rotary Club of Parksville, for being a champion of changemakers!
