The concept of Hebrew Free Loans has been a part of Jewish Vancouver since 1915. The present society was started in 1979 and since that time we have granted over 1,300 loans totalling more than $3.8 million with the vast majority having been repaid in full. The organization operates with a volunteer working board. We share office space, have a part-time administrator and a part-time bookkeeper. HFLA has never been a beneficiary of Federation or the United Way - we have relieved these organizations of some financial burden by providing loans, many of which would otherwise have been welfare grants. Most importantly, we have allowed so many in our community to retain their dignity with a “hand up,” not a “hand-out,” in difficult circumstances. With the ongoing support of our donors, we are be able to continue this great and ancient tradition of "gemilut chasidim" - deeds of loving kindness - far into the future.

At SADD Alberta, our goal is to unite the youth of our province in the stand against impaired driving. Impaired driving is still predominant in today’s society, so by uniting the province’s future, its youth, we wish to eliminate the number one criminal cause of death. SADD Alberta strives to do this through inspiring and motivating the youth of the province, and by assisting them in reaching their individual chapter goals. It is also a provincial goal of the organization to have at least one chapter per community in our province. With these chapters, we hope to eliminate impaired driving amongst our youth, communities, and provinces.
