Bringing the Downtown Eastside Community Together for Hope and Celebration.
Given the ongoing challenges faced by low-income individuals in accessing housing, essential health care and systemic support, it's clear that merely finding shelter is just one part of a larger struggle.
Accessing resources such as needing eye care, foot care, dental care, and mental health supports and a range of systemic issues such as lack of proper ID, reliable transportation, and access to computers proves to be challenging for people in the Downtown Eastside.
Every year, we collaborate with local service providers and organizations to help bridge the gap, and make these resources more accessible. Guests who drop by were able to either receive the services they need immediately or be referred to the relevant organizations. Barbers on site provided free haircuts, live musicians played throughout the event, and a hot meal was served to all who come.
