Your participation helps us help others

St. Aidan’s United Church is an active community of over 600 individuals with links to many organizations within Greater Victoria. Through a combination volunteer hours, facility use, cash donations and re-distribution of donated household items and clothing, St. Aidan’s membership supports Our Place, the Victoria Women’s Transition House, Together Against Poverty Society, PEERS, Children’s International Summer Village, the Shelbourne Community Kitchen, Girl Guides and Scouts, Hospice bereavement groups, the Mt. Tolmie Community Association, the Open Heart Society, the SPCA, the Red Cross, the Single Parent Resource Centre, the Sexual Assault Centre, and many international development projects, including relief work in Haiti, Syria, and the Philippines. This work is achieved through the good spirit and effort of St. Aidan’s people, and funded, in part, by the St. Aidan’s Fall Bazaar and its year-round Thrift Shop.
