For the last 8 months at Arrowhead we have built a great little Dungeons & Dragons group. Lots of laughs and adventures. We are just about to start a new massive campaign, which would be a perfect time to join us if you are interested! Just come talk to Gord at the clubhouse. This is A.I art created by Cloud one of the party members showcasing his awesome character the halfling thief Djaan. Seriously it's a great time! We play on Thursday mornings at 10:30am and on the Saturday’s that we are open.

Arrowhead 2024 Christmas Appeal
2024 has been an incredible year at Arrowhead Clubhouse! While we faced moments of sadness—including the loss of six cherished members—there were also countless tears of joy, love, and laughter. Together, we worked hard and achieved truly amazing things.
For the first time ever, we served 10,000 free meals in a single year—double what we served six years ago. We are so proud of this milestone! Food is at the heart of our Clubhouse. Our space thrives when we gather around the “big table,” breaking bread and sharing our lives. There’s usually music, plenty of laughter, sometimes a few tears—but always good food.
This year, we also deepened our connection with the shishálh Nation. We were honored to host the Red Cedar Woman Studio, where members learned the art of cedar weaving. We also welcomed Alfonso Salinas, the shishálh Nation Traditional Wellness Coordinator, and Calvin Mayes Jr., who blessed our Clubhouse space. We are deeply grateful to operate on the traditional lands of the shishálh Nation, and these moments were both moving and powerful.
With support from Vancouver Coastal Health, we launched the Food for Thought program, named by our members. This program employs members to prepare to-go meals for the Junction, a VCH space at Rockwood Lodge dedicated to recovery and wellness. For years, members have asked for a transitional employment program, and together, we made it a reality. In just six months, 25 members produced 1,500 meals, earning $8,000 in honorariums while gaining valuable skills and training. Everyone wins.
Here are a few more highlights from 2024:
52 new members joined our Clubhouse.
32 members secured housing.
21 entered rehabilitation programs.
50 members found jobs.
All of this adds up to a remarkable statistic: 95.6% of members say their quality of life has improved since joining Arrowhead, according to our annual survey. These results make our staff incredibly proud. The eight of us pour everything we have into this work, navigating moments of trauma, burnout, and grief. What keeps us going is the beauty, kindness, and perseverance we witness in our members every day.
And we couldn’t do it without you. The Sunshine Coast community is truly extraordinary. Over the past year, we received more than 1,000 donations—everything from toothpaste and tents to socks, sleeping bags, food, and first aid supplies. Many of you also donated money, keeping our doors open and the lights on.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Happy Holidays from Foye, the staff and members of Arrowhead Clubhouse.
