Shaw, the Cowichan Capitals, and the BCHL are committed to supporting local organizations like ours that are working to make our communities better.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges for the non-profit sector as more Canadians are having to rely on our services while resources that our organizations need to continue our essential work in the community are more strained than ever.

Through Brighter Communities powered by Shaw, residents of the Cowichan Valley can help raise funds for the CMHA Cowichan Valley Branch. This text-to-donate initiative is a quick and easy way to show your support for our organization and help build better communities for our youth to live, learn and play.

Shaw, the Cowichan Capitals, and the BCHL invite you to support us by texting CVKIDS to 41010 before May 31 to donate $10. To make your generous contribution go further, Shaw will match your donation, doubling the amount raised to CMHA Cowichan Valley Branch. For more information on this initiative, visit bchl.ca/shaw.

Organizations like ours rely on the generosity of our community and we need your support now more than ever as demand for our services continues to increase.
