My Story…
This weekend I will be again be walking a half marathon with my two amazing team mates. We have chosen to participate in this particular event because of the important organization it supports, DEWC (Downtown Eastside Women's Centre). We do this because we can, we set a goal, take one step at a time, and try and contribute to something we believe in in the process. The DEWC offer a variety of services which help provide essential needs and support to the women of the DTES. If you can, please consider contributing to their efforts. With thanks, Caroline
Description
DEWC operates low-barrier drop-in centre and shelter services throughout the DTES, which offer safety, supportive surroundings, nutritious meals, and basic essentials to women of the community. We are now serving over 1000 women and their children 365 days per year, a number that keep growing every year.
Oftentimes, a hot nutritious meal is a gateway for the community's most vulnerable women to a continuum of holistic supports to improve her situation.
Help us fundraise over $30,000 to support DEWC's expanding meals program.
