Brrr... it's getting cold out there! That means it's nearly time for the Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY), a fundraising walk SOURCES has hosted in White Rock since 2014. 

This year's event is virtual which means you can walk wherever you like, anytime you like, over the weekend of February 19, 20 and 21. 

There are so many spectacular options to choose from but here are three that you may enjoy: Sunnyside Acres, Campbell Valley Park and White Rock's beautiful Promenade. Join our public Facebook Group to see more "Walk Route Wednesday" ideas, "Friday Fundraising Tips" and more! 
OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL: $100,000

Money raised from CNOY 2021 will be applied strategically to our programs and services that are in most critical need during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. This includes our Food Banks, Housing and Advocacy Services (including Rent Bank), Volunteer Services, and Counselling Services.

Although we have to be apart this year, let's walk together virtually to help the homeless, hurt and hungry in our community.

A Very Merry Delivery

On Christmas Eve, something magical happened in South Surrey-White Rock.

Isolated seniors who were preparing for a quiet and lonely Christmas were visited by volunteers bearing packages of hot meals and holiday cheer!

 
Food drive supports Sources Langley Food Bank

When companies care about community, amazing things can happen. 

Last month, Langley-based business Kennedy Electric teamed up with Dan Edwards from The Macnabs Realty Group to put on a food drive that exceeded their expectations. Even the Kennedys' four children got involved!


 
Raising funds to send free books to local kids

An additional 30 young children in the Surrey-White Rock community will begin receiving free monthly books thanks to generous donations made to the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Dolly's dream is for children, regardless of their family income, to learn to love to read, and be at the same level when they start school. We love to help make this dream come true!


Article on DepressionMaking Our Sites SaferCheer by the Pier

One of our trauma counsellors wrote an article to raise awareness around the signs, symptoms and options for treatment of depression. 
Thank you to the arborists from Urban Grove Tree Care who, late last year, cut down dead trees to make our Family Connections Centre in Surrey a safe place for our team and our clients. They also donated proceeds back to SOURCES!
A couple of our Family Services staff decorated this fence panel by the waterfront near the White Rock Museum as part of the city's Festival of Lights last month. If you saw it, we hope it brought you some cheer at the end of a very long and difficult year.
