Our 2026 Community Partners

We are proud to introduce our Community Partners for 2026, who are making a real difference in our community. Each of these organizations is dedicated to improving lives and creating positive change in food security, mental health, housing, and the environment.

Our Place provides more than 1,400 meals every day, alongside access to housing, health care, recovery supports, and community programs. Their work is rooted in trust, built through consistent and caring relationships that support long term change. Working alongside community supporters, Our Place meets urgent needs while also walking with people as they take meaningful steps toward healing, belonging, and stability. Every service is designed to support progress at each individual’s own pace and to help people move forward with dignity and choice. Cascadia Quadra, Uptown, Caddy Bay and Eagle Creek chose to support Our Place because food security, housing stability, and mental health supports are foundational to healthy communities, and their impact is deeply felt across Victoria and the surrounding region.
