2009 LLCS Winter Charity
Drive
The Lotus Light Winter Charity Drive has raised
community awareness and benefited Vancouver’s
homeless each year since 1995, and has distributed
more than 160,000 winter garments and non-perishable
food items since its inception. In 2008, over 10,000
items of warm clothing and non-perishable food items
were distributed to Carnegie Community Centre
Association and 9 other shelters and local community
service centres. This year, Lotus Light Charity
Society will continue to distribute winter survival
packs with help from our community partner, the
Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.
The Lotus Light Charity Society (LLCS) is an
international charitable organization founded in
Vancouver in 1993 by Buddhist Grandmaster Sheng-yen
Lu, with over 90 chapters throughout the world. Each
chapter supports local causes and contributes to
global causes such as earthquake and famine. LLCS is
also an active supporter of other charity
organizations, including Quest Outreach Society,
Doctors Without Borders, BC Cancer Society, BC
Children’s Hospital, and many others at the
community, provincial, and national levels.
 We look forward to sharing with you this special
moment of community caring. Together, we can indeed
make a difference in the lives of some of our less
fortunate residents. Donations toward the Lotus
Light Charity Society 2009 Winter Charity Drive are
