Help Cindy raise money

For participating in 2024 Vancouver Half Marathon

My Story…

Hi Everyone!  It's that time of year again.  I am raising funds by running (well, probably walking) in the Scotia Bank Run on June 23.  The Downtown Eastside Women's Centre provides services like daily hot meals for vulnerable women and children in the Downtown Eastside. Many times they have helped out families from Queen Alexandra School by finding them housing.  This year, I'm fundraising in honour of my mom, who passed away in December and was always a big supporter of DEWC.  Please donate generously to a great cause!

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.
