“𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝” . . Hi, I’m Anna, Executive Director of AmEnough Society 🤍
Long weekends can be a beautiful time to rest but for many newcomers and migrants, they can also feel especially heavy.
These are the moments we often miss our families, our friends, and the sense of familiarity we left behind sometimes by choice, sometimes by necessity. That quiet space can bring up feelings of loneliness, disconnection, and emotional fatigue.
At AmEnough Society, we see you. And you are not alone.
Thanks to the support of the Government of BC, we’ve been able to expand our capacity to provide outreach and free mental health counselling to those who need it most.
This long weekend, I’ve personally taken over our WhatsApp, email, and social media DMs so our incredible volunteers can rest and enjoy the break.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or simply need someone to talk to even if it’s just to ask a question or find ways to reconnect with your community, please reach out:
Today, we pause to honour the strength, resilience, wisdom, and quiet sacrifices of women everywhere.
At AmEnough Society, we recognize that women are often the backbone of families and communities. So much of what women give goes unseen ....the encouragement, the listening ear, the mentorship, the sacrifices, and the courage to keep showing up even when the path is not easy.
This year, our reflection for International Women’s Day is “Give to Gain.”
A reminder that meaningful change often begins with what we are willing to give. When women give knowledge, opportunities, support, kindness, and leadership, the impact reaches far beyond a single moment it ripples through families, communities, and generations.
Today we celebrate women who build, nurture, lead, teach, and inspire. Women raising the next generation. Women strengthening communities. Women creating spaces where others can rise.
Black History Month is more than remembrance — it’s expression. It’s healing. It’s voice.

Join us for Let Your Art “Heart” Out, a powerful intergenerational community experience where creativity meets mental wellness.
🗓 Saturday, February 28th, 2026 ⏰ 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM 📍 AmEnough Community Hub 529 Queens Avenue, New Westminster
This is not just an event. It’s a safe space to:
🎨 Express yourself through art 📝 Experience spoken word and poetry 🥁 Feel the rhythm of community drumming 🪶 Receive wisdom from an Aboriginal Elder 🧠 Learn how creativity supports mental wellness 🌿 Connect across cultures and generations
Whether you paint, write, drum, or simply reflect — there is room for you here.
✨ What does “letting your art heart out” mean to you? ✨ When was the last time you created something just for your wellbeing? ✨ What story is waiting inside you to be expressed?
The word is out… and honestly? Those who know, KNOW.
Our Let Your Art "Heart" Out event sold out within weeks of the first post because 💛 Raising mental health awareness has never been this fun, expressive, or community-driven. Let Your Art “Heart” Out brings people together across generations, using expressive arts to promote mental wellness, connection, and healing — no pressure, no perfection, just heart.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our amazing sponsors, we’ve been able to increase capacity and release more FREE tickets with additional spaces specifically for our seniors 🙌🏾
This is more than an art event — it’s a safe, joyful space to: 🖌️ Express yourself through art 🥁 Connect across generations 💬 Talk mental health without stigma 🤝 Build community as a superpower
Did you know that oatmeal isn’t just for breakfast? In many homes, it’s also used as a healthier substitute for traditional fufu, offering both nourishment and familiarity in a different form.
A versatile option for families managing health conditions or dietary needs
For many newcomers and migrants, having access to familiar or adaptable foods like oatmeal supports not just physical health, but mental and emotional wellbeing too. Food connects us to home, dignity, and routine.
At AmEnough Society, we accept donations with more intention than explanation. Every item given is purposeful. 👉 Oatmeal is just one of the many culturally appropriate food items that will be distributed.
🌿 Tomorrow, Saturday Dec 20th– Nourish & Flourish Initiative @ 529 Queens Avenue New Westminster from 1pm - 3pm 🌿 This is more than a foodbank.
Alongside food distribution & winter clothing:
A family doctor will be available
Our counsellors will be on site to speak with you about your mental wellbeing if needed — privately and respectfully
👜 Please remember:
* Come on time * Bring your own bags
We nourish the body, support the mind, and honour culture — because wellbeing is holistic, and you are enough 💛

Our Village Square Family Summer BBQ Festival was a beautiful showcase of the rich cultures and ethnicities that make our community so special. From colorful attire to delicious foods, traditional dances, and shared stories — every moment reflected the power of diversity and togetherness.
This wasn’t just a BBQ; it was a celebration of belonging, mutual respect, and the joy of learning from one another. We laughed, danced, ate, and connected — proving once again that our differences are what make our community vibrant.
Thank you to every culture represented, every volunteer, and every guest who brought their energy and spirit. Together, we are building a community where everyone feels seen, valued, and at home.
We, the volunteers of AmEnough Society, are beyond proud to stand behind a leader like 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 — a woman who doesn’t just plan our programs and events, but births movements that leave a lasting impact.
The 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐁𝐐 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 wasn’t just a summer gathering — it was a community celebration of inclusion, connection, and healing. This was our 2nd annual event, and though we received no government funding, 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 didn’t let that stop the mission, she sourced all sponsorships on her own. 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐒𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐁𝐐 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 was fully sponsored by community organizations, small businesses, and generous individuals — and the atmosphere? Absolutely phenomenal.
✨ Truly inclusive event where everyone belonged — from newcomers to long-time residents, across all ages and backgrounds. It celebrated cultural diversity, encouraged honest conversations about mental health, and promoted anti-racism through education and connection. With over 40 people trained in naloxone use, the festival also empowered the community to respond to the opioid crisis with compassion and readiness. A powerful gathering that honored our shared humanity and created a safe, welcoming space for all
We still don’t know how 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 manages to do all she does — but what we do know is that her heart for the people and community is real. Her passion is unwavering. She leads with humility, strength, and vision. And that’s why we stand with her 🌿
This post is not just to celebrate 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 — it`s to say thank you and to encourage the woman who gives so much of herself to what she believes in. You are a true reflection of servant leadership.
𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮, you are deeply appreciated. Your work matters. Your impact is seen. And we are proud to be by your side.
