Who are we?
Serving our community
My name is Mahezafin Chand. I co-founded this non-profit organization alongside my husband, Andy Chand. We always wanted to serve our community, especially where we live. We have been involved in small fundraisers and volunteer activities benefiting our city since 2018.
We registered our organization in Nov 2021. It happens to be the same month when our province (British Columbia) went through horrific floods due to excessive rain throughout Southwest BC.
Our goal was to raise funds for people who lost their homes and help them with basic necessities to get back on their feet.
Our past collective team volunteer work:
- Volunteered with Surrey RCMP
- Fiji Disaster Relief Society
- Radio Fiji Mirchi Canada Food Drive
- Grocery hampers distributed by our team to those in need 2019 and 2020
- Regularly host programs with Radio Fiji Mirchi Canada as a host to raise funds
- Worked with Canada Food Drive
- Kiean’s Toy Drive
How do we raise money?
We raise money by reaching out to the community using various media platforms. You can donate through our website or by contacting us.
