Forward House Community Society

Sometimes all it takes is a cup of coffee, a friendly face and a little conversation to make the day feel brighter.

We’re excited to introduce Coffee, Conversation & Connection, a new weekly drop-in at Forward House!

Whether you're feeling a little lonely, looking to meet new people, wanting someone to talk to, or simply hoping to enjoy a coffee in a welcoming space, we'd love to see you.

Come as you are. Stay for a few minutes or the whole time. There's no commitment, no pressure and no registration required.

Just an opportunity to connect with others, enjoy a conversation, find a sense of belonging or simply take a break and be.

📅 Every Thursday
🕥 10:30 – 11:45 AM
📍Forward House, 136 Hirst Ave., Parksville

Everyone is welcome! You don't have to be a member of Forward House to join us. We hope to see you there! 💜

As we begin the Thanksgiving long weekend, our hearts are full and we couldn't be more grateful to the amazing team at Parksville Beach Festival. It was a wonderful day being part of the cheque presentations and learning more about the incredible work our local charitable organizations do throughout the Oceanside community.

We are truly grateful to be chosen as gate ambassadors. Thank you for another great Beachfest and thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many 💜 🙏
