Langley charities and their big fundraisers

Langley has a lot of charities, and most of them hold at least one big event a year. This page is a short tour. For each we say what they do, point you to their own site, and mention any events or galas the site lists. Dates change every year, so treat the links as the final word. We only note dates the sites publish, and where a site lists none, we say so.

Langley Community Health & Hospital Foundation

Raises money for equipment and programs at Langley Memorial Hospital and wellness programs around town. Its events page lists the Giving Hearts Gala (at Mirage Banquet Hall, with details still to come when we looked), a Future of Mammography reception and a community events page. See our full page or visit lchhfoundation.com.

Langley Hospice Society

Offers palliative care and grief support for adults, teens and children. Its events page listed a Glass Half Full fundraiser on October 23, 2026, at The Hangar at Harrison Pointe, along with its regular grief-support groups. Read our Hospice page or go to langleyhospice.ca.
