  • What We Do

When life is challenging, we can all use a little help along the way. Fortunately, the Sunshine Coast offers a wealth of resources to the community, including assistance with legal issues, support with parenting, programs addressing violence, help with aging in place, and much more. In fact, with so many services it can be difficult to know which way to turn.

This is where the Sunshine Coast Community Resource Centre comes in. Are you wondering whether there are resources to help you with your situation? We’re the place to come to!

The Resource Centre is a central hub that can refer you to the most suitable service or program. We spend our time keeping up to date on the available services, so that you don’t have to.

Here are just a few questions we have answers to:

  • Where is the food bank?
  • Who can help me with income assistance or finding employment?
  • Is there a place I can borrow toys for my visiting grandkids?
  • Is there someone who can help me fill in this government form?
  • Where can I find out about volunteering opportunities on the Sunshine Coast?
  • Where can I get information about negotiating with my landlord?
  • And if you’ve got a question that we haven’t encountered before, we’ll do our best to find the organization who can answer it.

Information and referral isn’t all we do!

We help identify community needs, research and obtain funds to address those needs to benefit the broader community.

We bring people and organizations together around common issues of importance to build a sense of belonging in our communities.

Our work benefits the service provider community by enhancing awareness of, and support for, each other. So we can all make the best use of our resources and avoid duplication of services.
