Our Mission
To be the community development and fundraising
organization on which West Island community groups can count on for
growth, solidarity and resources, so that all West Islanders can gain
access to vital program and services, when needed.
100% Goes Back to Our Community. Because our Corporate Partners cover our administration
costs, 100% of donations go back to the West Island community groups we
support. More than $4.5 million were distributed since
1998.
