1st Annual Hope in the Valley Luncheon

Funds raised will support the practical and compassionate care given to thousands in need – 365 days a year through The Salvation Army’s Centre of Hope.

“With one in 10 British Columbians living in poverty, our Hope in the Valley Luncheon is particularly important due to the increase in demand for services. As the cost of living continues to rise in British Columbia, more people than ever live at or below the poverty line, and turn to the services provided by The Salvation Army for support.”

This inaugural event will bring a message of hope. Hear the inspiring story of how Keynote Speaker Joe Roberts went from being a homeless skid row addict on the streets of Vancouver to become a highly respected business and community leader.

Hero for Hope award will be presented to Darshan, who has worked hard to overcome a series of life-changing setbacks to transform his life.

Attendees will enjoy a plated, traditional turkey lunch, performances by Gospel Brass Band and the Mountain Elementary School Choir.
