Free daily snacks & hot drinks provide a unique opportunity for staff and volunteers to connect with folks experiencing homelessness, mental health or substance use challenges. This connection is key to opening the door to their recovery.

Participants gain confidence, lift their mood by regulating negative thoughts, improve their mental health and learn to use music as a coping mechanism and relaxation.

$30 provides a month of musical therapy.

$100 provides a month of peer support.

The Peer Support Program teaches participants how to use their firsthand experiences with mental illness and the challenges of recovery in roles that support other clients as they themselves gain invaluable work experience, purpose and income.

WHY BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR?

It's easy & secure

You decide how much you want to give and you get one consolidated tax receipt. You can change the amount of your monthly gift or cancel at anytime.

Monthly donations go further

It's effective

By being a Coast Champion, you provide stable and reliable funding for programs that make a huge difference in the recovery process for folks living with mental illness.

Monthly donations significantly reduce the administrative costs associated with payment processing and tax receipting, so more of the money you donate goes directly to supporting programs and services.

Knowing that the amount I donate can give someone access to a hot meal, a place to feel safe and supported, or resources for their recovery -- it's truly a no-brainer.
 
I donate monthly because it makes the process effortless, while also maximizing my donation. It's impossible to ignore how great the need is in the Lower Mainland for the services that Coast provides.
 
I encourage anyone in the position to donate monthly to do so. What can buy you a coffee every day could also save someone's life. 

Join me as a Coast Community Champion and give monthly.
