My Story…
I've had the honour of providing pharmacy services for patients of downtown eastside Vancouver (DTES) and have worked with PHSCSS in some form for over 14 years. With hard work and ingenuity, members of PHSCSS, in collaboration with many organizations, have made a difference in people of this marginalized community by providing much needed housing, food, clothing, healthcare, mental health support, harm reduction services, and life-saving services against an increasingly poisonous drug supply. Please consider donating to help PHSCSS continue this important work.
Description
Founded in 1993, PHS Community Service Society is a registered charity offering low-barrier supportive housing, shelter, harm reduction, healthcare, and community supports in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and Victoria. Our services include safe consumption sites, recovery programs, affordable dentistry, low-barrier banking for over 7,000 members, and a food program delivering 1,500 meals daily within our Vancouver housing locations and programs. We also partner with Culture Saves Lives for harm reduction in Indigenous communities.
PHS serves individuals at risk of homelessness with complex needs related to severe substance use, mental health, brain injuries, and other acute conditions. With over 1,900 supportive housing units, PHS provides critical assistance to thousands, addressing poverty, trauma, and systemic neglect. Renowned for Insite, North America’s first legal supervised injection site, PHS leads in harm reduction and accessible services for marginalized populations.
Tax receipts will be issued for donations for $20 or more.
