Help Ella raise money

For participating in 2025 Vancouver Half Marathon

My Story…

Hi Friends! 

I'm running for the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre. Having worked there, I can tell you how essential their work is to supporting women in the DTES, and how important their advocacy is to advancing women's rights and safety. 

I know it is tight financial times for a lot of us, so no worries if you can't donate money! If you have any old clothes or other needed items (check out DEWC's website for lists of items), please consider dropping them off at their locations downtown :)

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.
