Legacy donors make a lasting difference!

The care we show one another today can help shape a stronger, more supported community for generations. A legacy gift to WCSS is one way to extend that care into the future, helping ensure people can continue to access the support and connection they need for years to come.

There are many ways to make a legacy gift, and the right approach is personal to you. If you’re curious about your options or would like to explore what a legacy gift could look like, we’d love to chat.

Let’s talk about the difference you’d like to make in the years to come. Contact Imogen at [email protected] for a confidential, no-obligation conversation.

It's Leave a Review Day and we're pretty sure this counts as a RAVE! One of our favorite programs is our School Food Program! It goes by many names in the schools but part of it is our Breakfast Club where kids can access nutritious meals to fill their tummies in the morning and support their learning!

Our youngest clients are our most vulnerable and we are so thrilled we are able to reach them with this important program. Scroll to see what students from Ecole La Passerelle and Spring Creek have to say about this program! Shared with permission!

We would also be remiss not to mention the on-site heroes that make this program possible, our teachers, EAs, and clerical workers who get this food into the hands of our students, especially our youngest ones who need more support and sometimes feel shy to access this food, thank you for your incredible work! 🥰💖

There’s something really special about the people who choose to support WCSS year after year. Your generosity means we can keep showing up for our community, supporting our neighbours, and making sure people have somewhere to turn when they need a little help.

Some of our annual donors give smaller amounts throughout the year, knowing that every dollar adds up and makes a difference. Others make a larger gift that helps fund an entire program or supports an area of greatest need. There’s no one-size-fits-all way to give, and that’s what makes it so special.

Whether you give $10 a year or make a larger annual donation, you’re part of something bigger. You’re helping make Whistler a community where people feel supported, connected, and cared for.

To all our annual donors, thank you for being there, for believing in what we do, and for helping us be there for others. We truly couldn’t do it without you. ❤️

Want to become an annual donor? It’s easy! Email [email protected] or start here: https://mywcss.org/fundraiser/ we're grateful for the support!
