This past weekend, the Cowichan Country Market Silent Auction brought in over $2,000 to support CWAVS!

A huge THANK-YOU to the event organizers, Bianca and Sarah, to the amazing vendors who donated 70+ items and experiences, and of course to our volunteer team members who supported the auction and our market booth 💜

All auction proceeds will go directly into our programs and services, supporting safety, healing, and belonging in the Cowichan Valley.

Additional donations made at the CWAVS booth through our Zoomer fundraiser will provide 20 children in Raven's Nest Child and Youth Advocacy Centre with comfort while they navigate the justice system after violence.
