For the Love of Squamish

 

Give Today. Grow Tomorrow

 

Squamish is a community built on connection, generosity and people who care. Every day, local non-profit organizations and volunteers make a difference – supporting families, protecting our environment, creating opportunities and bringing our community together

Through permanent endowment funds, the Squamish Community Foundation turns local generosity into ongoing support for the causes and organizations that strengthen our community.

While supporting local non-profits helps meet today’s needs, giving to the Foundation’s community endowment helps build lasting resources for generations to come.

Squamish needs both generosity that meets today’s needs and investments that help secure tomorrow’s future

Squamish Helping Hands Society

What They Need:
The Squamish Food Bank has seen an 11% increase in visits from individuals and families from 2025 to 2026 while their volunteer numbers have dropped. Financial contributions and dedicated volunteer hours allow them to feed people in need in our community all year round but particularly during the leanest, coldest months of the fall and winter.

Sea to Sky BC SPCA

What They Need:
The SPCA always needs dog and cat kibble for their pet food bank that is seeing more pet guardians needing support. The bags must be new and not expired. In addition, collars and leashes for dogs are also something they are often asked for. Every dollar donated goes to helping the animals in their care.
