What are we all about ?

Cancer Dressings

We the members of British Columbia & Yukon, Order of the Eastern Star, make and provide Cancer Dressings, FREE OF CHARGE, for cancer patients throughout the Province. Contact your nearest Chapter of the Eastern Star for more information.

Collection of used Postage Stamps   

The members of British Columbia & Yukon, Order of the Eastern Star, collect used POSTAGE STAMPS to raise funds for the purchase of materials to make cancer dressings and other cancer projects including research. In 2005-6 some $14,467.98 was raised from the collection of used stamps. This is a worthwhile venture. If you have any used stamps or postcards with stamp attached (keep the postcard whole with the stamp on) give them to an Eastern Star Chapter near you. Every little bit helps.

OES Auxiliary

Equipment such as wheel Chairs and other physical aid equipment is stored in depots located in Burnaby, Victoria, Duncan, Chilliwack, Prince George and Kelowna.
