Unique Get Together Society

What Unique Get Together Society does

Unique Get Together Society (UGTS) is a registered Canadian charity (#83387 2591 RR0001) headquartered in Chilliwack, British Columbia, that delivers community-based services to marginalized populations across Metro Vancouver. Founded in 2012 by Debra Abraham and her son, the organization operates a portfolio of independent programs rather than a unified technology platform: a Food Delivery Program providing free personalized hampers to 500+ families monthly across North to South Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, and Surrey; an inclusive Whole Child childcare centre in Chilliwack serving ages 0-12 with a nature-based, Indigenous-informed curriculum; a subscription-based Emotional Regulation program offering weekly 60-minute virtual, in-home, or in-office sessions; housing services targeting 70% housing stability for women and youth by 2035 via the BC Stakeholders Summit on Building Canada Strong; and education and empowerment initiatives including the Vision-2030 ACB-CEBs leadership pathway. There is no proprietary technology stack — the organization runs on a Wix-hosted website and relies on Google Forms for volunteer intake.

The business model is hybrid non-commercial: the bulk of operating funding derives from individual donations, corporate sponsors (RBC, Jumpstart/Canadian Tire, Shoppers Foundation, Mazon Canada), and foundation grants (Bell Let's Talk), with secondary revenue from daycare fees at the single Chilliwack site and modest monthly memberships for the Emotional Regulation program. Pricing for both daycare and emotional regulation is described as affordable but not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-beneficiary through weekend doorstep delivery, on-site programming in Chilliwack, virtual and in-person sessions, and community events (annual Walk for Trauma, Black History Month collaborations with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation and Thompson Rivers University).

Customer segments are diversified across racialized and marginalized individuals, women and youth, children with special needs and their families, Indigenous communities, Black communities, individuals facing addiction, and seniors. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), events, volunteer recruitment, and word-of-mouth within partner communities rather than paid marketing. The organization holds no patents or proprietary technology assets and operates with 11-50 employees.
