Opportunities From: iVolunteer Powered by United Way British Columbia

Join the Team Behind a Sold-Out Success!

We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join the Event Committee for Country for a Cause 2026, taking place on October 24th in Pitt Meadows.

Last year's event sold out in just two weeks, brought together 250 incredible guests, and raised much-needed funds to help local seniors remain safe, independent, and supported at home.

This year, we're doing it all again and we'd love some great people to join us.

Whether you're a seasoned event planner, a networking superstar, a sponsorship wizard, an auction item hunter, a creative thinker, or simply someone who enjoys being part of a team that gets things done, there's a place for you on our committee.

You don't need to have all the skills.

You don't need to do everything.

We're building a team where everyone brings their own strengths, ideas, connections, and enthusiasm to the table.

*Some committee members may help secure sponsorships.
*Some may focus on auction items.
*Others may assist with planning, promotion, marketing, logistics, volunteer coordination, guest experience, or helping things run smoothly before, during, and after the event.

What we all have in common is a desire to create an unforgettable evening while raising funds for a cause that matters.

Why Join?
*Meet amazing people and expand your network  
*Use your talents and skills for something meaningful
*Gain event planning and fundraising experience
*Be part of a fun, collaborative team
*Help seniors access the support they need to age safely and with dignity in their own homes.

This is more than an event committee. It's a group of people coming together to create something special, have some fun along the way, and make a real impact in our community. If you've been looking for a way to give back, meet great people, and be part of a sold-out community event with a proven track record of success, we'd love to hear from you.

Pitt Meadows  
Event Date: October 24, 2026  
Virtual Committee meetings starting soon

Let's make this year's Country for a Cause the best one yet!

Calling All Social Media Superstars!

Want to use your creativity to help make a difference?

More at Home Society is looking for a volunteer Social Media Marketer to join the Country for a Cause Event Committee and help us build excitement for one of the Tri-Cities' most anticipated fundraising events.

Country for a Cause returns to Pitt Meadows on October 24th, bringing together 250 guests for an unforgettable evening of community, entertainment, fundraising, and impact. Last year's event sold out in just two weeks, and we're expecting another incredible year.

We're looking for someone who loves social media, storytelling, and community engagement to help us spread the word and make this year's event bigger than ever.

What You'll Help With:

✨ Creating and scheduling social media content
✨ Promoting sponsors, auction items, and event activities
✨ Building excitement and engagement leading up to the event
✨ Capturing content before, during, and after the event
✨ Helping grow awareness of both the event and More at Home Society's mission
✨ Sharing stories that inspire people to attend, donate, sponsor, and support

• Have experience with social media marketing, communications, content creation, or graphic design
• Love storytelling and connecting with people online
• Are creative, organized, and excited to be part of a collaborative team

Because every post, share, story, and campaign helps raise funds that support low- and moderate-income seniors in accessing the home support services they need to remain safe, independent, and living in the homes they love. Let's keep seniors out of institutions they don't want to go to. 

You'll gain:
Valuable experience working on a major community event
Opportunities to expand your portfolio and network
A chance to collaborate with an energetic and passionate committee
The satisfaction of knowing your work is creating real impact for seniors across British Columbia

Make a difference in the lives of blind or partially sighted people in your community!

The Vision Mate program matches people who are blind or partially sighted with sighted volunteers who provide companionship and one-on-one assistance with everyday tasks and errands. Vision Mate volunteers can assist individuals with various activities including errands, going for walks, labelling and organizing household items, reading, or fun outings and recreational activities.

Matches are made with someone who lives close to your home, school or work. Visits are typically two hours a week in the person’s home or another suitable place at a mutually convenient time. We aim to match people for a minimum of six months, though there is no maximum time for a match to continue. Ideally, it will continue for years to come, as the Vision Mate relationship often transitions to friendship.

We are seeking compassionate, reliable volunteers to provide friendly visits to seniors living in the Columbia Valley (Spillimacheen to Canal Flats).
