Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the incredible generosity of the Tom Harris Fund for Families! A massive shoutout to Rachel, a former Comox Valley Resident, for nominating us as one of the charities to receive their fantastic donation of $2500.00!

To Rachel and the entire Tom Harris Fund for Families team, your kindness and commitment to making a difference!



We extend our deepest gratitude to Liz R, Doug S, and John A for their recent donation from the sales of their enchanting Piano People earlier this month. Your creative contribution, crafted from 100% recycled vintage piano parts and adorned with whimsical bows, is truly a masterpiece of generosity.

A massive heartfelt thanks to Jason Welsh for his incredibly generous donation. His story with YANA starts many years ago when Jason dedicated his time to chopping wood for YANA. Despite the years that have passed, YANA has remained close to Jason’s heart. Your unwavering support, both in the early days and now, reflects the true spirit of community and compassion. Thank you Jason!

Thank you to the Comox Valley Monarch Lions Club! Your generosity makes a big impact, and we are truly grateful for your support. With partners like you, we can continue ensuring that no family in our community feels alone. Thank you for being a vital part of the YANA family!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the incredible generosity extended to us through a grant from the Victoria Foundation, courtesy of one of their dedicated fund holders.  We are honored to be selected as the recipient of this anonymous grant and are deeply grateful for your support in ensuring that no one faces their challenges alone.

YANA is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for the incredible support from St Michael and All Angels Chapel. A heartfelt thank you for your generous donation! Your kind note touched our hearts, and we’re honored to have the backing of a community that recognizes and values the impact of our services.

This holiday season at YANA is brimming with support from our community, including the wonderful team at Tayco Paving. They have once again selected YANA as their charity of choice for their festive generosity. We are also delighted to express our gratitude to Upland Contracting for joining in and contributing an additional donation. Together, these thoughtful gestures make a meaningful difference in our community.

A heartfelt thank you to Scott Petersen, owner of Comox Valley Sports and Social Club, for orchestrating an incredible day of community and compassion! Scott organized an extra ‘play day’ for 8 volleyball teams from the Sport and Social Club league, turning the event into an opportunity for giving.

Admission to play was by a donation to YANA, and participants also brought food donations for the local food bank. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of Scott and the Comox Valley Sports and Social Club, who went above and beyond by matching all the donations raising a total of $750.00 for YANA..

Thank you, Scott Petersen, and everyone at the Comox Valley Sports and Social Club, for making a difference in the lives of YANA families.

Wow… just WOW! We are beyond grateful to the amazing Forbidden Dance Company for their spectacular Fall Gala Social Dance last weekend. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for Emily, Norene, Joe, and our adorable friend Bromley, who graced our office today with an incredibly heartwarming surprise – a generous cheque of $2010.30!
Their donation not only left us speechless but also reminded us of the profound impact dance, the spirit of giving, and community love can have on all of us. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
