Sources Community Resources Society is an internationally-accredited, community-based, not-for-profit multi-service agency that has served as a dependable source of help, encouragement and hope for individuals in the communities of White Rock, Surrey, Delta, Langley, Prince George, Parksville and beyond since 1978. At SOURCES, we are committed to learning about, celebrating and incorporating Indigenous knowledge into our practices as we continue our work in truth, reconciliation and resurgence. We acknowledge that our work takes place on the unceded traditional and ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples and our offices are located on the lands of the Semiahmoo, Kwantlen, Katzie and Tsawwassen First Nations in the Lower Mainland; the Lheidli T’enneh, part of the Dakelh (Carrier) First Nations in the North; and the Coast Salish peoples including the Qualicum First Nation on Vancouver Island. We are honoured to be part of these communities and many more. We touch the lives of thousands of individuals and families across the Lower Mainland, Northern British Columbia and Vancouver Island every year. To serve them, our team of dedicated staff and devoted volunteers offer a variety of social wellness programs and services through more than 20 locations, including Community Resource Centres, that are continually expanding to meet individual and community needs. We welcome people of all genders, races, cultures, ethnicities and abilities. We strive to create more vibrant and resilient communities by offering support to children, youth, families, persons with disabilities, seniors, and others who are coping with isolation, addiction, poverty, disability and conflict. In addition to providing services on behalf of the Government of British Columbia, we are partners with the United Way of the Lower Mainland, Law Foundation of BC, Vancouver Foundation, Community Living BC, Service Canada and more.
