Thank Yous
✨ The sweetest kind of support… literally! ✨
A huge shoutout to Tenley, Winslow, and Mila from Robb Road School, who raised an incredible $428.75 for YANA! 💛
As part of a Grade 4 class project, students chose a charity to learn about, present on, and support, and we are so honoured they chose YANA.
Through two bake sales, two candy skewer sales 🍪🍭, and even door-to-door support from neighbours, these three raised every dollar to help local families.
We are so inspired by this kind of next-gen kindness. Thank you for your big hearts and amazing impact right here in the Comox Valley! 💫
🚨💛 Huge thanks to Joyce and the awesome team at FortisBC for their generous $300 donation through the Employee Giving Program!
Support from kind people like Joyce and community-minded companies like FortisBC helps YANA Comox Valley keep showing up for local families when they need it most.
Your generosity makes a real difference, and we’re so grateful to have support like yours in our corner. Thank you! 🙌💛
A huge thank you to the amazing crew at Courtenay Fire Department for hosting an in-house fundraiser and donating $1,000 to YANA!
Their continued support means the world to us, whether they are organizing their own fundraisers, jumping in to support YANA initiatives (hello cookie decorating!), or joining us on stage at Big Love for the live auction 🔥👏 They are always there, showing up in the most fun, generous, and meaningful ways. And somehow, they do all of this while continuing to show up every day to keep our community safe.
These incredible young entrepreneurs from Royston Elementary’s Division 10 class chose YANA as the recipient of the proceeds from their Entrepreneur Fair, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Their creativity, hard work, and big hearts make a meaningful impact for local families.
It was such a pleasure meeting the students. The future is so bright with leaders like this leading the way ✨
A special thank you to Mr. Zadvorny for supporting and guiding this initiative. Moments like this remind us just how caring our community is!! 🩵💛🧡💚
A group of friends for over 60 years (!!) recently celebrated their 35th group trip in the most meaningful way. Joseph handcrafted beautiful bowls where everyone gathered, shared a meal, made donations, and each took home their bowl as a keepsake 🥣✨
What a beautiful blend of friendship, creativity, and generosity. It’s moments like these that truly show the heart of our community. Thank you to the Alders Group for thinking of YANA and for turning your tradition into something that gives back. We are so grateful!
We are continually blown away by the talent, generosity, and heart behind the beautiful YANA bowls created by the Comox Valley Potters Club. From their 2025 Market Days YANA Bowls, they have donated over $6,800!!! How incredible is that?! ✨ Every single bowl represents love, creativity, and real impact for YANA families in our community.
Thank you for showing up, giving back, and pouring so much heart into this amazing tradition.

Jody Murray, one of our amazing volunteers, continues to show up for YANA families in such meaningful ways. Not only does she volunteer countless hours with us (hello, Canvassing Lead!!!), but she also continues to give back through her workplace giving program. After donating last year, Jody has once again chosen YANA.
Jody, your continued generosity and dedication are truly inspiring. We are so so so lucky to have you in our YANA family!
Thank you to Comox Fire Rescue for showing what community truly looks like!! 🩵💛🧡💚
From their annual Christmas tree chipping event to their ongoing fundraising efforts, every dollar raised makes a real and lasting impact for YANA families.
We are so grateful for Comox Fire Rescue’s continued support, their heart for this community, and the difference they make year after year.
Great thanks to the wonderful congregation at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church for choosing YANA as your February Mission of the Month recipient once again! We are so grateful to be part of such a compassionate community.
A massive thank you to Jerry for once again hosting a Super Bowl game-day pool in support of YANA. We absolutely love seeing a little friendly competition turn into meaningful support for local families. And the generosity didn’t stop there! Not only did Jerry donate half the pot, but the winner, Cole Logan, so kindly donated his winnings back as well. Incredible.
This is what community looks like. Thank you both for turning game day into a win for YANA families! 🏈✨
