Help Kids Play

At Westcoast Family Centres, we recognize the continued stress and financial hardships that our clients face year-round.

Our Gift Card Drive campaign aims to support WFC families whose children (Kindergarten – Grade 12) are looking to spend their time outside, experiencing new and fun activities. As the days get warmer, many children want to join sports teams, spend time outdoors and so much more!

Help us support the children of our WFC families as they head into the Spring and Summer 2025 with gift cards for recreational activities!

Giving back is easy and there are two ways you can help families in need.

Cash Donation

Donate a cash donation at westcoastfamily.org/donate with ‘Gift Card Drive’ as your fund of choice.

Donations are accepted year-round and will be used to directly support Westcoast families for opportunities of play.

Tax receipts will be distributed automatically for all fund donations received.

Gift Cards

Purchase a gift card and arrange a drop off at the ‘Link’, our Vancouver Location (2780 E Broadway, Vancouver, BC , V5M 1Y8)

Driving through the near-by area? Our Vancouver office is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:40 p.m.

Email development@westcoastfamily.org for more information and to coordinate a drop-off.

Examples of gift cards can be the following:

  • SportChek, Mountain Warehouse, Walmart, Canadian Tire
  • Summer Camps
  • Recreational Centres, Swimming Pools, Play Centres

In 2025, we received donations from:

  • Pedalheads
  • The Vancouver Art Gallery
  • PNE
  • Royal Soccer Club
  • The Adventure Zone

These donations supported WFC youth and families in accessing play-based activities like swimming lessons, exploring the arts, experiencing the thrill of rides, soccer camps, and much more!

PNE is expensive and would have been hard to get the passes. It was a great family activity and very grateful to have had the opportunity to go together as a family.

I took my children to playland with our passes, and they had a wonderful time on all the rides. This activity was one I would not have otherwise been able to afford so really appreciate the passes!
