About Squamish Helping Hands Society

Squamish Helping Hands is a registered charity that operates out of Under One Roof to provide a community hub containing 39 units of supported housing, an emergency shelter, a medical clinic, a certified kitchen, and a food bank. With the help of our community, our team of 64 staff and 120 volunteers offer food, shelter, and support services to vulnerable adults, families, and children in the Sea to Sky region who are experiencing—or at risk of—homelessness, mental illness, addiction, health issues and poverty.

Our vision is a safe and healthy community for all. We believe that housing and food access are human rights. As we evolve from emergency shelter to housing our participants in an affordable and supportive environment, participants are encouraged to contribute through meaningful work, cultivate resiliency through a supportive community, and strive for independence.


Join us on Saturday, February 28nd, 2026 for the Coldest Night of the Year to support the most vulnerable people in our community. Every step you take makes a difference for someone in need!
