Westcoast Child CARE Resource Centre is a charitable organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, it reported $1.5M in revenue and $3M in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
