The Children and Youth have chosen where to send the money that has been collected in the Birthday Bank over the last year. They decided to divide it equally between the Vijaliwa Vingi Home for Children in Tanzania, (in partnership with the CanaDares Society) and the Sechelt Food Bank. The collection of this money is made possible by the joyful generosity of members of the congregation as they drop a few coins in the Birthday Bank to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, or other significant events in their lives.
