This incredible event filled three U-Haul trucks full with bottle donations!

White Rock, B.C. – What an inspiring show of generosity and community spirit! On January 3, our Youth in Action members hosted their first-ever Christmas Bottle Drive in support of Foundry South Surrey-White Rock. Even on a rainy winter day, these passionate young leaders showed up determined to raise funds to help make a difference for local youth.

From 11:00am – 2:00pm, supporters stopped by the ER parking lot to drop off bottles, make donations, and show their support for this youth-led initiative. Despite the wet weather, Youth in Action members persevered with incredible enthusiasm, driving around the community to pick up donations door to door. Their dedication played a key role in making this event such a success!

A huge thank you to Polygon Homes who matched all funds raised up to $5,000 on event day, helping twice as many youth in our community receive the wellness services they deserve. We are also incredibly grateful to the retirement residences Oceana Parc, Amica White Rock, and Aspira Retirement Living for their outstanding contributions, which played a significant role in the success of this bottle drive.

Thanks to the collective generosity of our community, together we collected over 15,000 bottles and raised $6,500 in support of Foundry South Surrey–White Rock, helping ensure local youth have access to essential mental health and wellness services right here in our community.

We’re so proud of our Youth in Action members for leading this initiative with passion and resilience, and incredibly thankful to each community member who supported this event. Together, we turned post-holiday bottles into meaningful support for youth in our community!
