SOS Programs & Services
SOS Community Services Centres are located at 245 Hirst Avenue West in Parksville, and at 744 Primrose Street in Qualicum Beach. Within these centres, there is programming for children, youth and families, and programs and services for adults and seniors.
SOS offers a variety of programs, support and services (free of charge) for the residents of District 69, including in-house programs, workshops and special events. SOS also subsidizes some program and services for local residents, such as Meals on Wheels and Personal Growth programs.
In addition, SOS provides information on and referrals to other services available in our community.
SOS programs and services are supported by over 350 volunteers, and are funded by the sale of donated goods through our Thrift Shop, cash donations, estate bequests, and fundraising activities.
