You’re invited to share a vision this giving season

James Bay Community Project

Dear Friends and Supporters: 

2015 is the 40th anniversary of the James Bay Community Project and we have a vision that we want to invite you to participate in.

To have a community where elders are taken care of, children have the best start in life and young people are able to fulfil their potential. To live in a place where those who are lonely, ill or struggling to afford food get what they need and are included in their community.... in your community. Join us in making this vision a reality.

Every day, every week, every month of the year, the James Bay Community Project gives help and support to members of your community.  The programs and activities touch the lives of thousands of people.  Infants and toddlers visit the family center with their parents.  Seniors come in for social gatherings and meals, or for health-related services. 

Individuals and families at risk can access counselling and people of all ages enjoy the library or shop at the thrift store, the Community Closet.  In addition to the services in the building, staff reach out to people across the City of Victoria with the Better at Home program and match hundreds of volunteers with seniors and adults with disabilities who need help.

JBCP can support these people because you help and support us.  Your donations make a big difference. Many of the services at JBCP are funded purely through donations and without your generosity simply wouldn’t exist. You are changing people’s lives for the better, increasing their opportunities, improving their health.

Please consider making our vision a reality and making a donation this giving season. Drop by 547 Michigan Street for more information. Our website lists a number of ways for you to contribute, www.jbcp.bc.ca.
