Starting NOW The Bottle Depot will be accepting bottle donations for Whitecrow Village.
How to donate When returning your empties advise the staff at the beginning of the transaction that you would like to donate your refund to Whitecrow Village FASD Society.
Where can I donate?
Donations will be accepted at all Victoria locations at 655 Queens, 4261 Glanford & 3961 Quadra. All three locations are open seven days a week for your convenience.
Keep it Local By returning your empties to the Bottle Depot you are keeping your money right here on the Island. Did you know that putting your refundable containers into the blue recycle bin sends them to a facility on the mainland? In one year this adds up to $400,000 leaving the Island! Just think of how much good this money could do by keeping it in our community to support local charities like Whitecrow Village.
Future Fundraisers Does your community have a bottle depot with a similar charity fundraiser program? Let us know and we’ll register Whitecrow Village so that you can support us in your community.

Whitecrow Village FASD Society Membership!!! Please join us.
Joy, competency, and social success are among the descriptors of children and adolescents with FASD and their families who participate in Whitecrow Village programs. The Whitecrow model consistently yields experiences of belonging for children and their families who have often experienced marginalization or isolation in other settings.
Whitecrow activities are based on a unique approach to understanding and supporting people with FASD. Essentially we take research findings of FASD as a physical disorder and translate them into practice. Reducing failure due to primary disabilities can also reduce the manifestation of secondary behavioural characteristics. Most importantly, providing an environment of understanding, respect and relationship allows the strengths and gifts of people with FASD to be their most notable quality.
