The Health Fund provides reimbursement to VLSCS members who live in Greater Victoria (including the lower Gulf islands) for the cost of products and services for health related concerns not subsidised by other resources.
Eligibility criteria and maximum allocations have been established by the Board to serve our community in an equitable fashion. A designated amount of proceeds from the GALA dance held in the fall each year and other fund-raising efforts raised by VLSCS go directly towards the Health Fund. You are invited to contribute to the VLSCS Health Support Trust Fund which provides assistance with the costs of health care to women in our community who are in need. If you require further information, or would like an application form to request reimbursement you can find it online, click here. Please feel free to contact the Society: telephone answering machine:(250)383-5144 Ext. 3087; or email healthfund@vlscs.ca
