Homelessness and housing insecurity are growing crises on Vancouver Island, with hundreds of people in Nanaimo and the Oceanside region living without safety or stability. Since 1989, Island Crisis Care Society has been on the frontlines, providing real solutions that go beyond temporary shelter. Through 9 housing sites and 14 programs, we support more than 375 people every day with housing, recovery, outreach, and life skills that lead to lasting change. By donating, you are helping address one of the most urgent challenges in our community and giving people the chance to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
Be part of the solution. Give hope today.
Consider becoming a monthly donor and be a permanent part of someone’s path forward. Your ongoing support gives ICCS the stability to plan ahead, sustain vital programs, and respond quickly to the changing needs of people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity, creating lasting hope and opportunity every day.
David’s Place has been open for one year, giving people in Nanaimo the chance to say yes to recovery with no financial barriers. But funding is only partially secured for the next two years and we need your help to make this vital program permanent.
Right now, your gift goes twice as far! Thanks to Rob Grey & Associates, the first $10,000 in donations will be matched – turning $50 into $100, $100 into $200, and doubling your impact for recovery.
We are grateful to our community and for the generosity that prompts those to share with others in need. However, as we are limited in our storage space, we are only accepting donated items by prior arrangement. If you have new or slightly used items you wish to donate, please contact our Resource Development Manager, Jennifer at 250-585-5505 ext. 102 or by email at development@iccare.ca.
If we are unable to accept your donation, we will try to connect you with other organizations in the community that work with vulnerable people.
Please consider supporting our programs with a one time or monthly monetary gift.
Are you interested in helping the on-going work of Island Crisis Care Society? Are you passionate about our programs and want to make a meaningful impact on the community? You may want to consider hosting a fundraising event in support of ICCS.
A fundraising event can be anything from a bake sale to an annual golf event, the possibilities are endless!
