Wintertime with its below freezing temperatures can be physically devastating for both children and adults. I would like to be the catalyst in my community to begin a blanket/coat donation drive.

Make Therapeutic clowning and clown-doctoring in particular a more integral and appreciated part fo our healthcare system. We can't just fund the treatment of the body we have to treat and care for the spirit and soul as well.

Help Protect The Feet Of Homeless Individuals in DTES

Written by Francis
Change topics:
 

It is my concern that a lot of the homeless need socks. A lot of them wear socks for weeks and their feet get infected with fungus. If we can all put in a little effort, we can make a big difference to each individual we help, even if it means giving a pair of sock away.

Start Fruit Tree Project on north shore

Written by greeninsight
Change topics:
 

Help start a North Shore Fruit Tree Project to link excess fruit in backyards with those who lack fresh fruit. Fruit falls to the ground and goes to waste when there are lots of people going hungry or relying on unhealthy cheap food. Other Metro Vancouver cities use volunteers to bridge this gap; let's do it on north shore! We're looking for volunteers and tree owners and donors.

to make people aware of the efforts being made to improve the housing options for everyone in British Columbia.
