SIRCH Community Services Solving real problems. Strengthening rural communities. Creating connection and resilienceโ€”together.

At SIRCH Community Services we have spent 31 years focusing on the development of programs and resources for the sole purpose of helping individuals and families to live a better life. Whether through our Community Services programs at a local level or through our resource development, consulting and networking nation-wide, we support, inform, build skills, increase confidence. Some of our programs involve very dedicated and skilled volunteers. All programs involve intricate partnerships that ensure our services are maximized for the people we serve. Indeed it is only through our networks of people, organizations, and businesses, and through our creative thinking, that we can do so much for so little. We are proud of the work we have done, and the programs, services and resources we continue to develop and offer. Our innovation and expertise remain the backbone of all that we have done and will continue to do in the future.

THANK YOU TechnicalitiesPlus for choosing to support SIRCH this year. We appreciate all of you for helping us share our message during our Gifts From The Heart - Annual Holiday Giving Campaign.

This Thanksgiving weekend, a lot of us will sit down to a full table. For too many in Haliburton County, that isn't a given.

Every year, Technicalities chooses one organization as our primary pro bono recipient. This year, it's SIRCH Community Services. We've worked with SIRCH since 2005, and have had a front-row seat to what they do: turning community generosity into meals, connection, and resilience across rural communities.

Between now and the holidays, we'll share the stories behind their work and help spread the word about their annual fundraiser, Gifts from the Heart. Follow along, and share if something moves you.
