Help build a community where everyone has access to housing, health care, and connection.
For more than 50 years, Victoria Cool Aid Society has supported adults of all backgrounds who are experiencing homelessness, poverty, health challenges, or barriers to care.
We provide supportive housing, emergency shelter, integrated health and dental care, recovery and wellness programs, nutritious meals, and community — all delivered through a barrier-free, person-centred approach.
Our mission: To help people who are impacted by homelessness and poverty improve their quality of life.
Every year, thousands of individuals turn to Cool Aid for safety, stability, care, and connection. Your generosity ensures these essential services remain accessible to those who need them most.
WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS
Housing and health are deeply interconnected. When someone has a safe place to live, access to care, and a supportive community, the foundation for wellness, recovery, and long-term stability becomes possible.
Your gift helps provide:
- Safe, supported housing and shelter for adults in crisis
- Warm meals and essential items for neighbours with few resources
- Integrated medical, dental, mental-health, and recovery care
- Support services that meet people exactly where they are
- Connection, community, and pathways to wellness
You are part of a solutions-focused approach that helps people move from crisis toward stability — with dignity, respect, and compassion.
