Volunteers
DO NOT
necessarily have
the time.
They have the heart.

In January 2016, the Social Development Commission and the Healthy Community Council merged to become the Community Wellness Committee. This advisory body to District of Mission Council meets quarterly on issues connected to the social determinants of health and community. With a focus on collective impact and collaboration, members representing various agencies work together to address social needs in the community.
It was through the inspiration of the Community Wellness Committee that Volunteer Mission has come to life.
The BC Government made a generous donation to support this pilot project, and it was all arranged through MLA Simon Gibson.
