It's cold out there. And this February, I'm going to do something about it. Together with thousands of Canadians across the country, I'll be walking and fundraising to support people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in my community. Please, give generously by clicking the "Donate Now" button above. Thanks!
About The Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby
Your support sustains our work assisting individuals and families who are unsheltered or at risk of homelessness. The people who attend the centres rely on us to meet their essential needs. The Society offers support through an innovative anti-stigma approach to tackling homelessness by providing a single point of access to wraparound services which includes not only providing meals and showers but also addressing the root causes through education and advocacy.
Our Outreach offers a One-Stop-Shop with 2 weekly drop-in Outreach Resource Centres (ORCs) where guests have opportunities to meet housing outreach workers and social services with access to government assistance and referral, advocacy, medical attention, foot care, hygiene and toiletries, clothing, a hot shower, food pantry and nutritious hot meals. Additionally we also operate the Extreme Weather Heat Response in Burnaby during the Summer season when extreme heat events occur.
Beyond these much-needed services, we also raise awareness about the issue of homelessness, fostering empathy and understanding within our community.
