Donor and Fundraising Stories

In Richard’s Memory: Helping Others Thrive

In Richard’s Memory: Helping Others Thrive

After her brother Richard’s life was changed by a brain injury, Judith came to understand how much having the right people around us can shape a person’s ability to thrive.

There’s an immense need for housing in the Comox Valley. L’Arche is helping to meet that need with your support.

What YOU can do to help launch The Anchorage?

Talk about it with family, friends and even strangers

Housing is good news and people will be interested.

Do you belong to a service group, church or club?

Often these groups have funds to share, or would consider doing a fundraiser on our behalf. If you need supporting information give us a call at (250) 334-8320 or email us at office@larchecomoxvalley.org

Take on a personal project

Raise funds by circumnavigating Vancouver Island in a kayak, walk from Victoria to Port Hardy, knit 100 socks, bake pies, hold a garage sale and donate the proceeds to the project.

Use your special skills

Do a job and in lieu of payment, ask for a donation to L’Arche Comox Valley.

Give a project gift card on behalf of a family or friend

Instead of purchasing gifts, give a “gift card” in their name. Just stop by our office or give us a call, name your amount and we’ll make it happen.

Donate!

Funds are always appreciated and a charitable tax receipt will be issued for amounts of $20 or more.
