Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union is proud to award a $1,000 SimpleGenerosity Volunteer Award to Joyce Lissimore!

For the last 16 years Joyce has provided enthusiastic and respectful leadership to the team of volunteers with SHARE Family & Community Services satellite food bank distribution site at Trinity United Church in Port Coquitlam. Joyce’s contributions go far beyond the food bank distribution leadership as throughout the years she has helped food bank users:

• get their taxes done – which has meant they could access government refunds
• replace lost or stolen identification – which has allowed them to access services
• get glasses - so they could read and see
• access work clothing and steel toed boots - so they could work

Many different people come to use this service and there are many different volunteers. Joyce has consistently brought a fair and open approach to her leadership, seeing the possibility in people. She has provided over 4,400 volunteer hours in this role and provided a predictability and stability that is greatly valued. Joyce helps people get back on their feet and improve their circumstances. She sees the whole person and helps in endless individual ways. Many people are in better situations and making better lives for themselves and their families due to her kindness, respect and assistance.

Thank you Joyce for inspiring us!

2020 marks the tenth anniversary for Gerri as Chair of the Crystal Gala Foundation, a volunteer run not for profit, raising funds for breast cancer through the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. She is the original founder of the Crystal Gala and has committed more than 20 years to raising funds and supporting women and their families living with breast cancer. She is the driving force behind the great work that the foundation is doing which includes the purchase of much needed medical equipment in addition to raising almost 3 million dollars for the cause.

Gerri has a rich history of volunteering and as such has received numerous awards including the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. She has volunteered her time to the Abbotsford Airshow, Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, Abbotsford Downtown Business Association, Restorative Justice and Advocacy, and BC Summer Games just to name a few.

Congratulations to SimpleGenerosity Volunteer Award recipients Bill and Dorothy Ballard! Bill and Dorothy have selected SHARE Family & Community Services as the recipient of a $1,000 donation from Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union.

Bill and Dorothy's work with SHARE began when the Coquitlam Food Bank location moved from Como Lake United to Hillside Church in April 2018. Both were invaluable in facilitating the move and ensuring a smooth transition. Bill took his generosity even farther when Hillside partnered with SHARE and was granted $98,000 from the Federal Enabling Accessibility Fund for site improvements to increase barrier free access. Hillside is currently implementing this funding and making their site, which houses a Child Care Facility in addition to the Food Bank, a safer - more accessible location. Bill and Dorothy are always willing to give of their time and work with SHARE and other organizations to ensure community needs are being met. They are committed to improving existing services and serving their community with grace and kindness.

Thank you for inspiring us and making a difference in our community!

We’re excited to celebrate the community leadership of Jimmy Whitlock with an Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union SimpleGenerosity award. A $1,000 donation in Jimmy’s name has been made to the New View Society.

For more than 2 years, Jimmy has been leading an initiative he created to raise awareness of mental illness and the services New View offers to our community. Jimmy started what is called the New View Jersey Challenge—a series of 10 jerseys are passed from person to person as a friend or family nominates them. The idea is each takes a photo of themselves in the jersey and shares their experiences or knowledge around mental illness and New View Society. The photos are posted on social media where individuals can consider donating to the New View Society. Jimmy has been a champion for creating awareness and supporting our community's most vulnerable.

Jimmy is thoughtful, reliable, accountable, kind, and takes initiative. He is a true leader and inspiration. Jimmy is now part of our New View family; he inspires all of us to be the change. With the proceeds that Jimmy has raised we are able to extend and offer additional opportunities for our members and we are grateful for the financial and advocacy Jimmy brings.

We're committed to giving back to the community!
