As Vancouverites bundle up for another frosty winter, the Lotus Light Charity Society is pleased to once again support the Vancouver Police Department’s Homeless Outreach Program. On Saturday, December 1 at 2:00pm, Lotus Light will present VPD’s representatives with a donation of 250 sleeping bags and 350 winter care packages, in addition to a public distribution of 150 sleeping bags directly to the homeless at Lotus Light Charity’s head office, 347 E. Hastings Street, Vancouver. Lotus Light welcomes our community partners and local media to attend this community caring event to support the VPD’s winter-blanket initiative for the homeless, now in its 5th year. Julien Ponsioen, Superintendent of Platoon Operation, B. C. Ambulance Service states, ”These sleeping bags will help the men and women on the streets of Metro Vancouver stay warm and give a level of comfort..” The Lotus Light 2012 Winter Charity Drive, now in its 17th year, relies on financial and in-kind donations from individuals and corporate supporters to continue its campaign to distribute sleeping bags and emergency care packages in partnership with local shelters and family service agencies throughout the Lower Mainland, including the British Columbia Ambulance Service. “Let’s work together to ensure Vancouver’s most vulnerable people, the homeless and disadvantaged, have something warm to survive the cold this winter,” said Buddhist Master Lian Tzi, President of Lotus Light Charity Society (Vancouver). In the spirit of its motto "Through caring and learning, we help to build a better tomorrow" Lotus Light Charity Society (Vancouver) is a registered non‑profit charity dedicated to helping the most vulnerable in our local community.
