Holly Days 2026 initiative

We offer a range of services to support members of the community including income tax services for low income individuals, Community Response Network support, specialized one-off services, and more!

Volunteer Income Tax Program

Volunteers trained by Revenue Canada complete basic income tax returns for Hope and area residents who require assistance.

The Volunteer Income Tax Program is available for Seniors and modest income earners (see below).

How does it work?

Bring in your tax forms (T5007, T4, T4(A), etc) and ID to the Hope Community Services office at 434 Wallace.
A trained volunteer will complete your tax return using the CRA’s e-file program.
Depending on the volume of tax returns availability of volunteers, your tax return may be complete within two weeks.
We will call you to come pick up your tax return once it is complete.

This is a free service however donations are greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our office at (604) 869-2466 for more information.

Community Response Network

We are proud to partner with the Hope Community Response Network (CRN) to provide a coordinated response to abuse, neglect and self-neglect to vulnerable adults in our community.

The CRN works to raise awareness through resources, information events, and workshops and to ultimately prevent abuse, neglect and self-neglect in vulnerable adults.

For more information please contact Kim Paolini or visit the CRN website.

Holly Days 2026

"Holly Days" is a heartfelt initiative run by Community Services every December, aimed at spreading holiday cheer to families in need.

Through the generous financial backing of community members, businesses, and personal donations, the program provides Hope families with much-needed food hampers.

These hampers are thoughtfully curated to ensure that families can enjoy nutritious meals during the holiday season, alleviating some of the financial burdens they may face.

"Holly Days" exemplifies the spirit of giving and community support, bringing people together to make a positive difference in the lives of others during this festive time of year.

In 2025, Hope Community Services provided 155 families with a Holly Days Hamper, thanks to generous donors.
