On Sunday, December 6th, 2015 at 2:00pm, Lotus Light Charity Society (Vancouver) held its annual Winter Charity Drive Presentation to present WCD 2015 donations to the representatives of the VPD’s Homeless Outreach Program and the BC Ambulance Service and the city of Vancouver’s HEAT Program, Progressive Housing of city of Burnaby and the integration and Outreach program of the Ministry of Social Development, with a donation of more than 300 sleeping bags and over 1000 winter care packages. The Winter Charity Drive 2015 also kicked off the Lotus Light Charity 2015 Toy Drive — to donate new or unopened toys, games and education materials for the children of Syrian refugee and low income family. Lotus Light asks the general public to support this good cause.
The Lotus Light 2015 Winter Charity Drive, now in its 20th 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.
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.
