The Lotus Light Charity Society (LLCS) would like to extend its gratitude to the Strathcona Community Policing Center (SCPC) for supporting our Annual Winter Charity Drive.
On Saturday, January 11, 2020, the LLCS Outreach Team walked alongside SCPC volunteers to distribute much-needed care items to homeless residents living on Vancouver’s streets as an emergency response to the upcoming cold weather alerts. Volunteers worked hard to distribute these items despite the snow and ice in preparation for the -12 ℃weather expected for New Year 2020.
Cathy, the Executive Director of the SCPC, and her volunteers did an excellent job of handing out essential items such as Red Cross blankets, winter care packages, snacks, juice, canned tuna, and hot Starbucks coffee. Homeless residents lined up at the Lotus Light Temple to receive the hot coffee, which warmed them up and brought smiles to their faces. The strong wind did not stop our volunteers from making a difference in our community.
The LLCS extends its thanks to the Winter Charity Drive sponsors for donating items to the Charity’s Annual Winter Drive. Together, we were able to make an impact on the lives of the vulnerable DTES community and help keep them safe throughout our harsh winters!
Volunteers in Action!
