SHARE Family & Community Services

What SHARE Family & Community Services does

SHARE Family & Community Services Society is a non-profit, independent, community-based organization domiciled in British Columbia, Canada, delivering an integrated portfolio of social services to residents of the Tri-Cities (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, Belcarra), New Westminster, and adjacent communities. Its service model is direct-to-consumer and free at the point of use, delivered through four physical locations in Port Moody and Port Coquitlam: the Tri-Cities Children's Centre (TCCC) at #101-2312 St. Johns St; administrative offices for senior services and child/youth programs at PoCo Place (Unit 500 - 2755 Lougheed Highway, Port Coquitlam); counselling offices at 2615 Clarke St, Port Moody; and the recently opened Foundry Tri-Cities youth wellness centre at 400-2755 Lougheed Hwy., Port Coquitlam.

The organization's core products span the full age continuum: early childhood programs for children 0-6 years; youth services including the Foundry Tri-Cities integrated wellness hub for ages 12-24; adult counselling and support; senior programs; the SHARE Food Bank with a virtual grocery store for hamper donations; and 43 Housing, a 308-unit low-end-of-market (LEM) rental portfolio at the 55One Coquitlam building near Burquitlam SkyTrain. Underlying technology is a community services platform coordinating food bank, counselling, housing assistance, and youth wellness programs; no proprietary software products, AI capabilities, mobile apps, or APIs are disclosed.

SHARE is a registered charity (Charitable Registration No. 11887 5798 RR0001) that earns revenue through a hybrid charitable model: individual donations, corporate giving and sponsorships (including Wesbild Holdings and the annual IMAGINE Gala), virtual food bank hamper sales priced at CAD $50-$200 with charitable tax receipts and a stated 2:1 buying-power leverage, and government grants (notably provincial funding for Foundry Tri-Cities as part of B.C.'s youth mental health expansion). All services are free to community members; pricing applies only to donor transactions. The organization is governed by its own Board of Directors, has no parent company or external equity investor, and currently operates under its Strategic Plan 2024-2027.
