ABOUT US
The Koinonia Friendship Foundation is a compassionate community-based organization dedicated to serving vulnerable populations across Metro Vancouver.
We believe that everyone deserves dignity, nourishment, and companionship — no matter their circumstances.
Founded with a simple but powerful vision of belonging, we provide nighttime meals for the homeless and ongoing support for older adults through care, companionship, and community engagement.
Our volunteers and partners work tirelessly to bridge gaps in service, offering warmth, kindness, and hope where it’s needed most.
At Koinonia, we see every act of service — a shared meal, a friendly visit, or a helping hand — as a step toward building a more compassionate and connected community.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to serve with compassion and purpose, meeting both the physical and emotional needs of those facing hardship.
We strive to:
-
Provide nutritious meals and meaningful connection for the unhoused and vulnerable.
-
Support seniors with companionship and community activities that ease isolation.
-
Foster an inclusive spirit of friendship, faith, and mutual care that uplifts all.
Together, we aim to create a city where no one feels forgotten and everyone has a place to belong.
