"Giving is an act of generosity. Giving is sowing a seed. The seed will produce great harvest of fruits."
Lailah Gifty Akita
Each week, we offer over 180 program spaces to adults and seniors with mental health issues, brain injuries, and developmental challenges who are able to participate in the Farm's therapeutic and vocational training programs.
For 39 Years, The Vancouver Island Providence community Association (VIPCA) has been providing creative and innovative programs for people in this community at Providence Farm.
"Thank you for helping our program. The farm is important to clients like me because it is like family."
Heather, Providence Farm Client.
Every dollar helps us to make meaningful lives for some of our more disadvantaged community members.

Dear Providence Farm Supporters,

If you haven't already heard the news, in response to the postal strike, the Government of Canada has extended the 2024 tax receipting deadline until February 28th 2025. Meaning you still have time to submit a donation to your favorite charity and claim it on your 2024 taxes. The government press release can be found here for more information: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2024/12/government-of-canada-announces-extension-of-2024-charitable-donations-to-february-28-2025
