SOS Biz for Good
Business is the
bedrock
of our community
You help create a healthy economy and a happy community. You provide meaningful jobs and attract new visitors and new development.
Prosperous communities cannot exist without vibrant business communities.
Vibrant businesses are those that respect their employees, value their customers, and engage with the community where they do business.
You measure success not only by shareholder return but by the impact you make in your community. You understand that by doing good you can attract and retain dedicated employees, enhance customer loyalty, and help build stronger communities that are good for everyone. It is about balancing profit with purpose.
What’s good for the community is good for business.
“We strongly believe in supporting and giving back to a community that has supported us.”
– Sandy Herle, Owner of Close To You Boutique and
a proud SOS Biz for Good partner
SOS provides the
social safety net for our
community
We help residents of all ages when they experience times of hardship so that they can become healthier workers, supporters of local businesses, and contribute to the social fabric of our community.
Prosperous communities cannot exist without stable support systems for all residents.
Healthy communities are those that help seniors to age in place, provide opportunities for kids to thrive and create solutions for reducing poverty so that no one is left behind.
We measure success not only by how many supporters are engaged in our work, but by the lives we improve and the impact we make.
Investing in a strong social safety net is good for all of us.
SOS Biz for Good is good for your business!
“I could either eat or pay rent. I didn’t have anyone to ask. I went to SOS and was treated with respect. I got the help I needed and a couple of years later, I got back on my feet.”
– A former Emergency Assistance and Advocacy client

“We believe that businesses—local or not—should be using their business to support our local charities and organizations, especially ones like SOS that bring such a variety of services to improve the lives of members in our community of all ages.”
– Malcolm Rush, Norm’s Plumbing and Heating (Owner)
“We love helping people and so does SOS. We’re so pleased to have this affiliation with such a giving, first-class organization.”
– Mark Beuerman , Podio Studio and Websites Made With Love (Owner)
“SOS provides so many services to families in need. They keep smiles on children and seniors with so many fun activities, clothes on their backs, and food when needed. These services brings the community so much joy and positivity. I am so proud to support the SOS. Everyone that works at Kalvas feels the same way. We will never stop supporting SOS.”
~ David Darmadi, Owner, Kalvas Restaurant.
“I’ve lived and worked (and played) in the Parksville Qualicum Beach region for 20 years now. I’ve always been so impressed with the work SOS does for our community – so many programs that help so many people in so many ways. Supporting our community has always been one of Tigh-Na-Mara’s core values. Honestly, it’s hard to think of a more worthwhile organization than the SOS for us to support/partner with. Keep up the great work!”
~Jim Hykaway, Tigh-Na-Mara, General Manager

Why your partnership
matters
Here are some current realities we face as a community.
- 11% of seniors are considered low-income with many unable to afford proper housing.
- 1 in 3 children live in poverty without enough to eat, many only eating one meal a day.
- Many residents have to choose between medication and food, as they can’t afford both.
- Seniors without friends and family close by feel alone, uncared for and unwanted.
The lack of home, social, and school stability has created a mental health crisis for many children and youth.
Your partnership will help us build on the current programs and services we already deliver as well as expand our reach to meet the emerging needs of our most vulnerable residents. Together we can make our community
better for everyone.
It’s all about the
impact
Your partnership protects
the social safety net of our community
