Help Cindy raise money

For participating in 2025 Vancouver Half Marathon

My Story…

I am raising funds by running (well, probably walking) in the Scotia Bank Run on June 23 for the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre.  All the funds raised will go to this great organization which provides services like daily hot meals for vulnerable women and children in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Many times they have helped out families from my school by finding them housing. I'm fundraising in honour of my mom.  She was always a big supporter of DEWC and volunteered for a similar organization in Saskatoon.  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.
