Restricted Party & Event Supplies Rentals

 The Community Fund would like to thank everyone who has supported and used the Party Rental program over the years. These supplies were originally purchased for our own use, and over time we expanded access as a service to the community. This was made possible only through the goodwill of Board members and many generous volunteers.

However, the system has become increasingly difficult to maintain. We no longer have consistent facilities for sanitizing returning supplies, and volunteer capacity is not sufficient to manage the growing workload.

Effective immediately:

• Public rentals are discontinued.
• We will continue to support qualified Hornby non-profits only if they can sanitize all items themselves and return them on schedule,  ready for storage.
• Rental  fees will continue to apply to help maintain a capital replacement      fund, ensuring the inventory can be repaired and replenished for future      community use.

Transportation to, and from the venue is $75. each way.  It is preferable that you provide your own loading and transportation, then there is no transportation charge.

Dishes, cutlery, and glasses, should be transported in a covered vehicle.  All must be returned in well-rinsed condition, with glasses upside down in the crate.  Linens must be dry before being placed in the bin provided (or mold happens).

Thank you for supporting this fund raising initiative of the Hornby Island Community Fund.

 Thank you to the key contributors to the creation and operation of the Community Fund’s party rental program!

We want to thank you sincerely for the years of goodwill, effort, and generosity you have invested. This program grew from a small collection of supplies originally purchased for our own use into a valued community offering — and that growth was only possible because of volunteers’ commitment.

For many years, the success of the rental program has relied entirely on volunteer labour and the availability of a suitable venue for sanitizing and processing returning supplies. Recently, both of these pillars have become increasingly strained. Consistent sanitizing space is no longer available, and the volunteer workload has exceeded what is sustainable.

   There are rental companies in the Comox Valley, including All In One Party Shop 

and Always Invited Event Rentals.
