Supporting our Island Community with Compassion and Comfort
What We Offer
We cannot change the outcome
but we can assist you in the journey with
compassion and comfort
Vigil Services
We will arrange to have volunteers sit through the night with your loved one,
so you can go home and get much
needed rest.
The facility or hospital can arrange coverage, or you can call the vigil coordinator.
Our volunteers will stay with your loved one, giving them comfort so they're not alone.
We can also provide volunteers to sit during the day or evening, if you need.
The vigil coordinator can be reached at
250-537-6411.
Grief Support
We provide one on one support, as well as grief support groups twice a year, to anyone in our community
The Grief Support Program is led by experienced facilitators and provides six sessions twice each year to those who are past the first stage of their grief.
Our next Grief Support Group will be coming soon.

Volunteer Services
Volunteers offer their time to visit with individuals in need of someone to talk to about their experiences, share memories, read, and provide a kind presence.
Often it is difficult for individuals to share their feelings, thoughts, and spiritual philosophy with loved ones and friends in light of their situation.
Companion Volunteers offer a confidential and kind-hearted presence where the person lives: home, hospital, or other residence in the community.
