Covenant House Vancouver (CHV) is so grateful to have received another generous donation of $20,000 from Richards Buell Sutton (RBS), a law firm that is dedicated to supporting CHV. This gift will help to fund CHV’s life-changing services that include housing, mental health support, and educational opportunities.
In addition to this incredible donation, team members from RBS have also given the gift of their time, over the past year. Groups of around ten staff members have volunteered onsite at CHV numerous times, and helped us with everything from sorting clothing donations to creating candy bags for the youth. We are so grateful that RBS has scheduled future volunteering dates in 2025!
As Sharon White, KC, of RBS, says, “We are pleased to continue our support of the incredible work that Covenant House Vancouver does for young people at risk in our communities. Each year, we hear stories of youth with unbelievable courage and determination who have overcome great adversity. We know that the work of Covenant House Vancouver is imperative to enable these youth to live a life free from experiences that are unimaginable to many of us.
We have expanded our efforts this year to support Covenant House Vancouver with members of our team regularly volunteering on site. It has been extremely rewarding and provides us with the opportunity to see first-hand all that they do to positively impact the lives of youth. We have also had a drop box for donations of much needed clothing and personal items, to which members of our firm have been generously contributing.
Our volunteer activities have only deepened our commitment to this very worthwhile cause. The team at Richards Buell Sutton have much to be grateful for, and we are so fortunate to be able to support these young people through the extraordinary work of Covenant House Vancouver.”
With a rich history spanning over 150 years, RBS has long been an active member of our community. CHV is truly honoured to be among the organizations that they choose to support.
Thank you to the partners at Richards Buell Sutton for your generous support!
