Donations

Make A Difference

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:

  • a peer-led, trauma-informed model that places lived experience at the very core of women help women help themselves;

  • Elder led cultural care and knowledge sharing,

  • accessible health education and wellness care options, and

  • growth and healing that happens on community terms.

 

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.

The Future Belongs To Us All

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.
