Family's stay at Jeneece Place leads to partnership with Children's Health Fdn
It was a Coastal Community employee who saw a need to support the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. An unexpected healthcare emergency required that they travel to Victoria to get the help they needed. They were able to stay at Jeneece Place where their family had everything they needed to get through a very tough time. They shared their story with Coastal Community, resulting in our partnership with the Foundation over many years.By supporting the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, we can help lessen the financial burden families face in a healthcare emergency.
This $200,000 donation was made possible by our Sharing Our Success program, where we distributed $1.6 million in one-time special funding to charitable organizations across Vancouver Island. Recipients received funds in late 2023 and we're starting to see how the money is helping island communities in the areas of healthcare, housing, mental health, financial education and food security.
