Cause

The Alberni Valley Senior Citizens Homes Society, a local charitable organization, is proud to announce the launch of a Food Security for Seniors Program — a community-based initiative aimed at helping seniors in financial need access nutritious food. We know that many seniors are struggling to make ends meet, and grocery costs continue to rise. This program is about dignity and support — ensuring local seniors can access the food they need without having to choose between essentials.

Funds raised through Raffle Nexus 50/50 draws will go directly toward providing monthly grocery gift cards for eligible seniors living in Port Alberni.
