The lesser known impact of COVID-19 
on our local community organisations

Knowing that all of our community organisations will be financially impacted by COVID-19, we are setting up a WEST ISLAND SOLIDARITY FUND and are turning to you for help. Most of the 41 community organisations supported by Community Shares have very little resources to fundraise, and even less to fundraise during these difficult times. Your support will help us ensure that crucial services are available for West Islanders who need it during these difficult times.

West Island Community Shares is a unique charitable organization dedicated to building a strong, inclusive, peaceful and healthy community. Our unique model allows 100% of donations to be given back to these community groups thanks to the generous support of corporate partners and partial revenues from internal events which cover all operational costs.
Community Shares HELPS MORE THAN 65,000 WEST ISLANDERS
​by distributing funds to 40 local charities.

Of those, 63% are UNDER THE AGE OF 25 YEARS OLD

40% of FOOD BANK USERS ARE CHILDREN
