Imagine 2026 - Every Step of the Way
A Record Night of Community Support
We are grateful for the 350 community supporters, sponsors, partners and volunteers that joined us on Saturday, March 7, at the Great Canadian Casino Vancouver for SHARE’s 21st annual IMAGINE Gala, presented by Wesbild.
It was a record-breaking event. Together, we raised over $280,000!
These dollars will help sustain unfunded and underfunded programs like SHARE’s Food Bank, Foundry Tri‑Cities, and Early Years programming. Your support, as shown in our SHARE Stories of Hope video, creates full bellies, social connection for isolated community members, and peace of mind for those who rely on these services.

Our Community Makes IMAGINE Possible
Thank you to our sponsors, donors, guests, volunteers, and community partners for your incredible support. We simply could not do this work without you—you are the reason SHARE can walk alongside our community, every step of the way.
We look forward to seeing you in 2027!
Why IMAGINE Matters
SHARE Family & Community Services supports more than 30,000 people each year across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, Belcarra and New Westminster.
For over 50 years, SHARE has walked alongside people during times of vulnerability—offering housing support, food security, mental health and counselling services, early years programming and early intervention, youth and senior supports, advocacy, education and employment services. But not all essential services are fully funded.
Twenty percent of SHARE’s budget relies on fundraising dollars. Some programs—like the Food Bank—receive little funding, yet support 5,000 children, families, and seniors every month. Events like IMAGINE Gala help keep doors open, staff employed, and services accessible to those who need them most.
Programs your support helps sustain.
Throughout the evening, you’ll see clear, transparent examples of how donor dollars are put to work—what programs cost, why they matter and the impact your support makes.
Funds raised at IMAGINE Gala directly support unfunded and underfunded programs, including SHARE’s Food Bank, Foundry Tri-Cities and Family Resource Centres (Early Years programs).
Attend IMAGINE Gala and be part of something bigger:
- Support essential, life‑changing programs
- Celebrate community resilience and generosity
- Connect with people who care deeply about the Tri‑Cities
- Help ensure SHARE can continue walking alongside those who need support most
