Mid Year Update 2024

Beautiful baskets and more!

Thanks to all who dropped by our annual Mother’s Day Hanging Basket Sale! This year, we expanded to include Level Ground Coffee, greeting cards, and local art. We hope to continue next year with variety, and will let you know through announcements in April! Your purchases funded general operations so we could attract volunteers and be open more hours a day. Thank you!

Thank you for your support!

In May, we ran our annual Take Action for Telecare fundraiser. We also received wonderful gifts in April and early June. Thank you for a wellspring of $48,430.00 towards our $100,400.00 annual budget.

Thank you to those who give monthly too. If you would like to give monthly, please give us a call at 604.852.4058 or email office@telecarebc.com. You can also begin donating here.
