My Story…
I'm excited to join the 10K race team to support PHS Community Services, an organization that provides vital support to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Running has introduced me to some great people and places. The Eastside 10k has kept me motivated to keep running over the summer. Supporting PHS makes that goal more meaningful.
If you can, consider donating to support the wonderful folks at PHS doing important work!

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.

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.
