Your generous support empowers us. When you give to the Vancouver Women’s Health Collective, you’re not only funding services. You are investing in:
This is the model that has sustained The Collective for 55 years. And thanks, in no small part, to the donations of time (volunteering), money, and needed items, we provide all our services for free to thousands of self-identifying women and diverse gender folks in need.
You can show your support in an one-time, monthly or legacy donation.

Currently, the VWHC is growing our Peer Support Worker Training program, strengthening our advocacy work, expanding food and health partnerships, and building the infrastructure for continuing our health equity work that will carry our work forward.
Over the next decade, we hope to open a community-owned holistic health facility in the Downtown Eastside, a permanent home for peered-led care, cultural healing, self-advocacy, and community connection. Your gift today is a brick in that foundation.
