Mission Statement
Victoria Society for Children with Autism (VSCA) serves, encourages, educates, supports, and inspires families in Greater Victoria who are living with children on the autism spectrum. VSCA continues to evolve and connect with the larger community.
About This Cause
The Victoria Society for Children with Autism (VSCA) offers a comprehensive range of services, including: - Monthly family support groups for caregivers of children with autism, featuring social gatherings and guest speakers. - We organize special events on a larger scale, featuring either outdoor activities or indoor options during the winter months. These events are conducted in collaboration with local businesses to help alleviate costs for families. - A Food Rescue Program that provides essential goods donated to VSCA to help families bridge the cost-of-living crisis with food support. - Access our equipment resources, which include noise-canceling headsets, weighted blankets, physical support aids, and a book lending library stocked with educational materials, entertaining games, and thought-provoking activities. - A respite funding program, typically available during Summer, Spring, and Winter breaks. - Providing support in connecting with crucial resources and community organizations that can aid families on their journey. - Ongoing support for families following an autism diagnosis. - Volunteer opportunities within the organization. - VSCA maintains an active communication channel with our members by ensuring the regular distribution of a monthly newsletter. This newsletter serves as a valuable resource to keep our members well-informed about upcoming events, important updates, and relevant news related to our organization and the autism community. - Acknowledgement to our Donors through our Seasonal Donor newsletter, with thanks and support. - Regular social media posting of upcoming events, local activities, and informative news for ASD community. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported us, whether through generous donations or valuable volunteer efforts. Thanks to your contributions, our programs are making a significant impact on families in the Greater Victoria area. It's important to understand that many families in our community face isolation and often grapple with burnout while caring for their loved ones with autism. At our organization, we provide a haven—a non-judgmental, safe space—for these families and caregivers to connect, share their experiences, and find the support they need. It's through the kindness and generosity of individuals like you that we can sustain and expand our programs to serve even more families. As the demand for our services continues to grow, your support is essential in helping us reach and assist those who need our programs and support the most. Your contributions truly make a difference in the lives of these families, and we are immensely grateful for your ongoing support. Together, we can make a positive impact on the autism community in the Greater Victoria area. Thank you
