The Lotus Light Charity Society’s (LLCS) initiative to distribute food hampers to those disadvantaged by the Covid-19 pandemic has finally concluded. The hampers were distributed from the parking lots of the Pink Pearl Restaurant from April to May 2020 and the Britannia Community Center from June to July 2020.
The LLCS would like to thank Vancouver Produce Wholesalers Discovery Organics, Fresh Direct, Fresh Point, Point Terminal, and Van-Whole Produce for donating 60,000 lbs of produce and fruit. The LLCS would also like to thank Grandview Highway’s Real Canadian Superstore for donating 25,000 lbs of canned goods, cookies, energy bars, juices, pasta, sauces, and water.
LLCS volunteers are working alongside volunteers from the Chinatown Community Policing Center, Grandview Woodlands Community Policing Center, Strathcona Community Policing Center, and the Vancouver Aboriginal Community Policing Center. Volunteers from all organizations worked together to distribute 9000 hampers (containing non-perishable food items) and 1250 packages of disposable face masks to seniors, people with disabilities, and immune-compromised individuals.
