Get Involved In Your Community
There’s something powerful about giving back where you live.
When we support our neighbors, volunteer our time, and contribute to local causes, we help create a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant Vancouver. Getting involved not only uplifts those in need — it also builds connections, strengthens neighborhoods, and makes our city a better place for everyone.
Whether you have a few hours to spare, extra resources to donate, or simply want to learn more about what’s happening locally, there are many ways you can make a difference. From food drives and shelters to mentorship and environmental cleanups, Vancouver is full of opportunities to lend a hand.
Here are just a few organizations and programs where you can get involved:
