Fostering social equity on the Sunshine Coast by creating opportunities for people to achieve their full potential.

As the Sunshine Coast grows, so does the pressure on housing resources and services. Sunshine Coast Community Services is making a necessary and significant commitment to support the health and wellness of our community.

We are building a new six-storey building in Sechelt comprising 34 affordable housing units for women, including those with children. Sunshine Coast residents will be able to access our many programs and services, including the Food Bank, in purpose-built spaces on the building’s first two floors.

Together, the housing and program space will support the development of a strong, healthy community that will benefit all Sunshine Coast residents.

Keep it Coastal is a place-based brand that celebrates and promotes community love here on the Sunshine Coast. We strive to educate on the benefits of choosing local, to amplify community pride, and to support small local businesses through community-driven buy local campaigns.

The Town of Gibsons has a Community COVID-19 Grant Program in order to distribute $25,000 to community organizations that provide assistance to vulnerable populations. The funds were intended to offset COVID-related expenses and shortfalls, up to a maximum amount of $1,000 per organization.

In early 2022, Council added $20,000 to the Community COVID-19 Grant Program. Accordingly, the Town is inviting local non-profit organizations to submit applications for this new funding, even if they received a grant under the same program  in 2021.
