Like many charities, the BCHF’s fundraising model, which relies almost entirely on events and social engagements, has been turned completely upside down. It is a devastating reality that will likely last well into 2021, and so we are now strategically revising our entire course of action for 2020, as we shift from events-based fundraising into new, socially distant territory.
We are fortunate and proud to be part of this industry, which has so much heart and passion; and we have already had some long-standing liquor manufacturing and retail partners come forward with turnkey fundraising initiative that have brought in cash, helping alleviate immediate sustainability issues for us as a charity.
We truly acknowledge your help by choosing to make purchases that support our industry!
Below is a list of promotions currently running that benefit the BCHF.

INFORMATION AND WELLBEING LINKS
|

The BCHF is a charity that supports hospitality workers
facing financial crisis due to a health condition. These are the people who work in your favourite restaurants, wineries, breweries, bars, and hotels. Often with limited access to benefits or financial aid, our beneficiaries have nowhere else to turn if a health condition arises. Your support has a meaningful impact by getting them back on their feet again.
