Irish Community Emergency Assistance Program

The Irish Benevolent Society of BC (IBSBC) has been helping Irish families and individuals in Metro Vancouver in need of emergency assistance for over 25 years.

If you are Irish and need emergency assistance, reach out. Applications are welcome from all sectors of the Irish community within BC and can be made by completing this form. We can also provide information on other community resources which might be available to you. All applications are confidential and you will be contacted to verify your information.

This initiative has been generously funded by local Irish community members who have donated directly to the Society and/or supported local fundraising activities.
