PHC Gabriola - People for a Healthy Community PHC is a community based, not for profit, organization serving Gabriola Island. Welcome to People for a Healthy Community (PHC)!

We support individuals and families during vulnerable times in their lives while strengthening community resilience. We are a community based, not for profit, organization serving Gabriola Island. Vulnerability can occur at any stage of life, in an acute or chronic way. Our programs focus on three key social determinants of health:

- Improving Food Security
- Reducing Social Isolation
- Supporting Academic Success

25 years ago, People for a Healthy Community on Gabriola Society became a registered charity and has remained Gabriola Island's only social service agency.
​
PHC programs and services have touched 1 in 7 Gabriola residents.

Your old phone could be someone's lifeline- give it a second life!

Do you have a cell phone sitting in a drawer? PHC is looking for donated phones for staff who need a reliable phone to do their work supporting our community - coordinating programs, reaching clients, and staying connected across Gabriola.

We're looking for phones that are:

Less than 5 years old (for reference: iPhone 13 and Samsung S22 or newer)
In working order and good condition (holds a charge, screen intact)
Interested? Call or email us with your phone's info: PHC 250-247-7311 or [email protected].

Every donated phone is one less device in a landfill and one more way our team can be there for the community. Thank you, Gabriola!

Be the Heartbeat of Our Community
Every day, People for a Healthy Community works on the front lines to ensure no neighbor goes hungry and no good food goes to waste. Today, we are inviting you to take a leading role in that mission.

While our landscape is changing due to shifts in government funding, our commitment to you remains unshakable. Private donations now power 35% of everything we do. This means that our ability to provide fresh meals, emergency support, and local resilience literally starts with you.

We cannot do this work alone. To keep our doors open and our programs running, we need to bridge this gap immediately.

Will you join us?
Your donation today is a direct investment in a stronger, healthier community. Whether it is a one-time gift or a monthly commitment, your support ensures that the vital work we do every day never stops.
