Sharing Our Prosperity
On April 1st, 2021 we established an Emma Smiley legacy fund with the Victoria Foundation
The Victoria Foundation (founded in 1936)
Sharing our prosperity guidelines:
The Victoria Truth Centre supports organizations that help: young people and families in need; providing healthy lifestyle support such as food, healthy living, and/or shelter. The VTC supports helping develop future leaders, guided by Rev. Emma Smiley’s positive thinking motto of “Living Life Lovingly,” building self esteem, inspiring productive lifestyles, and helping others to contribute to their community.
