WCSS will present its 2024 impact report at the Maury Young Arts Centre at their AGM on September 18, highlighting record food bank use, housing pressures and expanded outreach services.

WCSS offers a range of social supports, from school nutrition programs and food bank access to financial assistance, mental health resources and outreach services.

“This year, we responded to unprecedented pressures related to affordability, housing insecurity and mental health crises,” executive director Jackie Dickinson said in the report. “The Emergency Weather Shelter Program, the Food Bank, and our Outreach Services have experienced record demand. In response, we strengthened cross-sector partnerships, expanded service hours, and launched new pilot initiatives designed to reach those most at risk.”

Join WCSS at their AGM on September 18, 2025, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Maury Young Arts Centre in Whistler.
