The fourth annual Homelessness Action Week is coming up October 11 - 17. This year add your voice to the call for a national, affordable housing strategy at www.stophomelessness.ca.
Four Metro Vancouver mayors including Surrey mayor and council are supporting this intiative.
Also, check out the calendar pages on the website to see what is happening in your community. Volunteers are needed for Project Homeless Connect events.
Vancity staff really stepped up to the plate in 2008 and volunteered at Connect events in Surrey and Vancouver. In case you missed it, here is a link to the video Kate made in Surrey last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc1ctmQfjYA

a while ago i participated in something called Project Connect, an event that brings together a whole lot of services available to homeless people in our community, in one place for one day. there were dentists, barbers. people advising on affordable housing, and hot meals - not to mention the smiles and love.

Join one of the two 2009 "Riding to Break the Cycle" tours where teams of 25 young people pedal from either Vancouver, B.C. to Tijuana, Mexico OR Amsterdam, Netherlands to Istanbul, Turkey to raise funds and awareness about how microcredit can help developing world entrepreneurs lift THEMSELVES out of poverty.
I live and love in gastown/dtes - in a little loft/condo. I have a problem that a social enterprise could solve.
I want to compost but have no garden, and not much room in my home. So, I'm going to try Bokashi (small buckets, no smell). But here's the thing: I have nowhere to put the compost once it's ready.
It got tired of doing nothing, of thinking that the problem was too big, that I couldn't do anyhting to make a difference, and I just started, took a stepforward, connected with other like minded people and it flowed from there. It's funny when you realize how much helping others helps yourself, in ways you would never imagine ;)
