• Our final award is the @wesbild Leadership in Philanthropy Award. SHARE named the Wesbild Leadership in Philanthropy Award in honour of Wesbild Holdings, SHARE’s most significant benefactor. The award is given to those donors whose significant contributions allow SHARE to pursue our mission. In 2005, Wesbild purchased and purpose-renovated a building from which SHARE could deliver service to many thousands of people each year. In addition, Wesbild generously donates the rent back to SHARE and maintains the building. This extraordinary contribution allows SHARE to invest significant resources into its mission: to provide support to vulnerable individuals and families so that they have the opportunity to reach their full potential. The Wesbild Leadership in Philanthropy Award represents the highest recognition that SHARE can give to a donor. This year, we are pleased to present the Wesbild Leadership in Philanthropy Award to @westwoodhonda. Westwood Honda’s commitment to supporting SHARE started in 2007 and over the past 14 years, they have made significant financial contributions to our organization. Most notably, they have been our Diamond sponsor over the past 3 years at our annual IMAGINE gala, have supported our Christmas SHARE Joy campaign for many years, and they continue to raise food for the food bank at their dealership. Westwood Honda has demonstrated its strong commitment to community by supporting many local and regional organization that do important work for many. SHARE is deeply grateful to be one of those organizations. We value our partnership and thank you for investment on community!

  • We are excited to present our third Caring Community Partner of the Year Award to the PMOHA Port Moody Oldtimers. During their 2020 season, the Port Moody Oldtimers were forced to delay their season due to the pandemic. Their members rallied together to donate their hockey fees, and once they had to make the difficult decision to cancel the season all together, they had donated over $30,000 to support SHARE. The Port Moody Oldtimers are a shining example of caring community partners turning adversity into a good deed to help others. We are deeply appreciative of your collective efforts. Thank you, and congratulations on your award!

  • COVID-19 casino closures lead to an online gambling boom, but online gambling can be more problematic because of how easy it is to access and hide. Donating to SHARE's Gambling Support programs will help us continue to offer this support for free. Visit the link in our bio to donate today.

  • We are excited to present our second Caring Community Partner of the Year Award to @schooldistrict43. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, schools across the province were forced to close. For many children and youth, this meant not only losing connection to their teachers and friends, it meant losing the place that provided them with a healthy breakfast and lunch every day. Many families across School District 43 rely on the local school breakfast and lunch programs to help ensure their children receive the healthy food they need in order to learn. With the closure of the schools, SD43 wanted to make sure that these families were still supported. Over the next several months, the SD43 Food Services staff provided hampers of healthy, fresh food to SHARE Society for distribution through the SHARE Food Bank. District staff also reached out to let families know about the service, and to provide a warm connection between our two organizations. During a time of great chaos and anxiety across the province, SD43 chose to find a new partner in SHARE and to pursue a creative way to maintain their connection with our community. Thank you for your commitment to our community and congratulations!

  • Today, June 21, 2021 is the national 25th anniversary of celebrating the heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples! Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year! #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay

  • We are excited to present the first Caring Community Partner of the Year Award to the McCloskey Family. Dave McCloskey came up with the brilliant fundraiser “Spice Up the Holidays and Fill the Foodbank Challenge”, which took off and was embraced and supported by the Tri-Cities community, both by viewing and cheering him and his family on and by donating to support the SHARE Foodbank. This was also a great opportunity for Dave and his wife Angela to teach their amazing kids Noah, Clara, Amelia and Mackenzie about the importance of charity, giving back, and helping others. And it really was a family affair – folks tuned in as much for Noah and Clara’s smooth camera work, Amelia’s awesome jokes, and Mackenzie’s cuteness as they did for Dave! And of course Angela was behind the scenes coordinating it all, and supplying Dave with milk afterwards! Together the McCloskey-Dumont-Lesum Family was able to raise over $30,000 for SHARE, and we can’t wait to see their young leaders make a difference in their community for years to come! Well done Dave and family, this award is so well deserved!

  • We are excited to present our second New Partner of the Year Award to @concerthomes! We are so excited to have been given the opportunity to partner with Concert Properties. As an award-winning, diversified real estate enterprise that is involved in developing rental apartments, condominium homes, and retirement communities, acquiring and developing commercial and industrial properties, we know that they pride themselves on putting people first. This value has never been more apparent than in their recent partnership with 43 Housing Society and SHARE. Partnering with SHARE and 43 Housing Society to introduce 100 new, below-market homes to the Tri-Cities will have a lasting impact on the community. As part of a larger project involving the City of Coquitlam, the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, BC Housing, Concert is bringing over 1,000 units of rental housing as well as recreation and community amenity space to the surrounding community. We are so grateful that 43 Housing and SHARE are partners in this project, with 43 Housing operating the 100 units of affordable housing at the Burquitlam Park site in Coquitlam. Together our organizations are working to address the affordable housing crisis in the lower mainland by providing accessible, dignified, and non-stigmatizing housing to those need it. Thank you for your partnership and for all you do!

  • We are excited to present the first New Partner of the Year Award to @pdacoquitlam! We are truly grateful to have been given the opportunity to partner with Place Des Arts. Earlier this year, Place des Arts generously provided a series of “Creative heARTs” sessions to many SHARE families. These free art sessions were a wonderful opportunity for many in our community, particularly for refugee families in our New Beginnings program! SHARE staff commented on how warm, welcoming and wonderful it has been to work with Place des Arts and that many of the families who have accessed these art sessions would have not been able to afford to attend otherwise. The connections that we have been able to make and the children and youth who have benefited from these opportunities has been amazing! Thank you for your partnership in bringing art to many of our families!
