First United is an amazing organization that provides hospitality, shelter and belonging and so many basic necessities to the most vulnerable DTES community members. When I was the Volunteer and Community Outreach Coordinator, I saw just how profound First United's impact is on the community.
My mother was a long time resident of the DTES and even accessed services at First United back in the day. She played the piano in the dining room on occasion.
On Feb 25th, the 2 year anniversary of my mothers passing, I will walk in support of the DTES community members and First United. And honor my mothers spirit and her deep love for this community! Please join me in supporting this important fund raising campaign. Thank you for stopping by! <3
