Your tickets could help provide essential services like meals to people in BC who need them.

Every year, Coast provides almost half a million warm, nutritious meals.

Having access to affordable, healthy, and nourishing food, is the baseline humans need for survival. But many people living with mental illness aren’t able to meet this basic need.

When people are hungry, nutrition is the last consideration.

The effects of a poor diet can add to problems vulnerable people already face, like weakened immune systems, diabetes, and vitamin deficiencies. This makes them open to other infectious diseases like COVID-19, and it makes it harder for them to recover.

Basic services like these are a critical resource for people living with mental illness. You can help.

You will have the chance to take home up to $120,000 and you’ll bring help and hope to your neighbours.
