Abbotsford is under a state of emergency due to flooding and hundreds of households are still under evacuation orders and alerts. While the floodwaters are starting to recede, more rain is forecasted, and many areas are still heavily impacted. The long term impacts will be significant, affecting people’s homes and livelihoods. 

Archway is in active discussions with our community partners on how we can help and connecting with clients to see what needs they may have. Your donations for flood relief will help with access to food and other immediate needs of those displaced, plus long term supports like counselling, legal advocacy, access to transportation and more.

Thanks to a community of donors like you, volunteers, staff and partnerships with other organizations, Archway Community Services is well equipped to be able to respond to personal and large-scale emergencies as they happen.
