Recipients
Through the generosity of Friends and Angels, we grant to organizations most in-need throughout Metro Vancouver.
These change-making charities serve our city’s most vulnerable with passion and purpose. It’s humbling to play a role this year, and for more than 30 years.
We are beyond grateful to all of our donors, friends and Angels — their generosity never wavers. Without them, none of this would be possible.
Below is the complete list of recipients — we are working in partnership with them to feed the hungry, house the homeless, protect the vulnerable and make our community a better place.
