Glacier Grannies celebrate 15 years of empowering grandmothers in Africa

In 2022, the Glacier Grannies celebrated 15 years of supporting and empowering African grandmothers. Click here for an article, written by Heather M., which was printed in the Comox Valley Record on November 9th, reminding local residents of our mission and thanking them for their support over the years. You will also find a tweet from the Stephen Lewis Foundation and a link to the newspaper article.

 About Us 

We are a determined, passionate, resourceful and fun group. Some of us are grandmothers, and some are ‘grand others.’ Fundraising is done through events such as our yearly Spring Sale, by making and selling crafts at Fiesta and by making and selling Christmas swags and table pots.. Many of our members enjoy working together to make AIDS Angels, felted items and Christmas swags and table tops. Others prefer to work on crafts individually, or are happier organizing events, selling our wares, or undertaking administrative tasks. We encourage creative ideas for new events.
