Practical help. Stronger communities.
Antares brings people together to provide food, water, hygiene essentials and other practical support to neighbours experiencing poverty.
A local foundation built around useful help
Antares Guild United Foundation is a volunteer-led Canadian non-profit preparing community-based poverty-relief activities across Metro Vancouver.
Our approach is simple: listen, purchase useful essentials, work with local food banks and bring supplies directly to people who need them.
Three ways we strengthen the community
Direct outreach
Commercially prepared food, fruit, water and modest hygiene essentials offered at community outreach locations.
Food-bank support
Shelf-stable food purchased for established food banks serving Vancouver and Richmond.
Seasonal comfort & hygiene
Soap, personal-care kits, clean new socks and warm drinks when weather calls for extra comfort.
There is room for everyone to help
Support can begin with a conversation, a useful in-kind contribution, an introduction to a local partner or participation in a future community event.
We are currently preparing our first activities and welcome connections with food banks, suppliers, volunteers and community supporters.
Support practical poverty relief in Metro Vancouver.
