WEST ISLAND COMMUNITY SHARES

Throughout the month of March, all individual donations, up to $25,000, will be generously matched by an anonymous couple from Baie-D’Urfé.

That means every dollar you give will have twice the impact for local organizations.

What does your donation make possible?

Discover inspiring stories, which show how your financial support empowers community organizations to take action, plan with confidence, and serve even more neighbours in need — right here at home.

Five of our partners — West Island Mission, Ricochet (Hébergement/Homes), Projet Communautaire de Pierrefonds, West Island Women’s Shelter, and West Island Cancer Wellness Centre — share how your generosity helps them plan, take action, and support neighbours in need, right here at home.
