Mission Statement
Plant hope; Harvest joy! “Trusting in Providence, and building upon the faith-centered heritage of our founding members, we are committed to serving needs and to fostering talents of people in the Cowichan Valley, especially of those not easily accepted elsewhere, through our therapeutic community at Providence Farm. Our focus shall be upon the renewal of the body and spirit, and upon people caring for the soil, and the soil nurturing the people.”
About This Cause
The Therapeutic Farm Program, provided by the Vancouver Island Providence Community Association (VIPCA), has served the Cowichan Valley community since 1979. Programs takes place at the picturesque Providence Farm – a working farm and regional landmark. Often referred to as a rural community centre, the impact of this vital program extends beyond program participants and volunteers to benefit the region (and beyond) as a hub of community action and inclusivity. Providence Farm provides a variety of innovative programs for individuals with mental health, brain injury, age-related illness, and developmental disabilities. Programs are all based in Nature, whether it's horticulture, art, woodworking, nutrition, gardening, landscaping, textiles, or mindfulness. We believe that caring for the land together is healing and therapeutic.
