💙 Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! 💙

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible individuals who give their time, energy, and heart to support Nanaimo Lifeline.

Our volunteers are the quiet heroes behind the scenes, bringing comfort, safety, and connection to those who need it most. Whether you’re installing equipment for our clients, making social phone calls to people experiencing isolation, or lending a helping hand in any way, you are making a real difference in our community every single day.

Because of our volunteers, more people in Nanaimo can live at home, safely and independently, with confidence and peace of mind. That’s something truly special.

From all of us at Nanaimo Lifeline—thank you for your compassion, your dedication, and your generosity. We couldn’t do this without you.

👏 Join us in celebrating our amazing volunteers this week! Drop a 💙 in the comments to show your appreciation.

Visit your local Tim Hortons starting April 27th to get a sweet treat to support healthcare for everyone north of the Malahat!

The sweetest event of the year is back. Smile Cookie Week returns April 27 to May 3 - and every cookie comes with a big impact.

For every Smile Cookie purchased at participating Tim Hortons in Nanaimo, proceeds will support healthcare across Central and North Vancouver Island.

Since 2010, Tim Hortons has raised more than $369,000 in support of local healthcare and we are proud to partner with our friends at participating Tim’s restaurants again this year. It’s a simple way to treat yourself while supporting healthcare’s greatest needs.

A huge shoutout to Sunshine Mountain Ford Lincoln for their sponsorship of tomorrow's Smile Cookie 2026 kick off!

The work that our team does for our community is so impactful. Making sure our elderly and medically vulnerable neighbours are safe at home is a cause we all really believe in, and we honour that work by celebrating together at the holidays! We bowled til our hearts content at Sunset Lanes and had a wonderful meal prepared by Jenna's Kitchen. Thank you all so much for the work you do, and for coming out to the party!
