On May 28, 2020, the Lotus Light Charity Society (LLCS) distributed 1500 hampers to families and individuals affected by the Covid-19 pandemic from the parking lot of the Pink Pearl Restaurant.
Since late April, the LLCS has distributed 3500 hampers (containing enough food for a family of four to survive for two weeks) to families and individuals impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The non-perishable and fresh produce items were donated by Discovery Organics, Fresh Direct, Fresh Point, Produce Terminal, Van-Whole Wholesale, and the Real Canadian Superstore on Grandview Highway. These hamper distribution events were supported by both LLCS volunteers and Strathcona Community Policing Centre volunteers. The LLCS extends its sincere thanks to these organizations for making this donation event possible.
Update:
Due to the reopening of the Pink Pearl Restaurant, we are moving to a new location: the parking lot of the Britannia Community Centre (1661 Napier Street, Vancouver) for the following distribution dates:
Thursday, June 11, 2020 at 1pm

Please enter at Venables and Cotton. Disabled, seniors and anyone with a weakened immune system will also receive a package of disposable face masks.
The LLCS is proud to be serving those who need our help and will continue to extend its services and programs to those in need. The LLCS thanks its volunteers, corporate and individual sponsors, and partner community service organizations for all their generosity and support in helping our programs run successfully.
