The Lotus Light Hot Meals for the Homeless program distributes 300 free lunch meals to DTES homeless residents at Oppenheimer Park each month, and since the program started, over 12,000 residents have enjoyed free meals.
In 2019, the program offered nutritious meals monthly at Oppenheimer Park to help those in need and received assistance from volunteers at the Carnegie Community Association.
The Lotus Light Charity Society (LLCS) would like to thank its volunteers and 2019 sponsors for making this program possible. The following sponsors have made a big impact and the LLCS is incredibly grateful for your contributions: Floata Seafood Restaurant, Pink Pearl Seafood Restaurant, Ferry Market, Kent’s Kitchen in Chinatown, Edge Catering, Nester Market at Broadway, and Terra Bread Bakery at Olympic Village.
In 2020, the LLCS will continue this program to provide homeless and impoverished residents of the DTES with free monthly lunch meals. To continue providing vulnerable residents aid, the LLCS requests public support through monetary donations.
