29 WISH participants shared what programs are most critical to them, and the survey results show us why having a space to gather in community can be as essential as accessing frontline services.

“People thrive off nature,” says a WISH Shelter Manager. But on the DTES, surrounded by concrete, nature is in short supply.

That’s why the small garden in WISH’s backlot is so important.

As one shelter resident recently shared, these flowers and plants make it feel “more human.”

Sharing your story, like Phyllis Webstad did, can be incredibly powerful.

Today in the WISH Shelter, participants are invited to design their own #OrangeShirt & enjoy a special bannock brunch.

We are grateful to honour the spirit of #TruthAndReconciliation together, in community.

It’s been a tough year. But even with the temporary closure of the Drop-In, WISH never stopped.

InReach works 1-to-1 with participants, the 24/7 shelter is operating at capacity & the MAP Van runs 6 nights/week.

Now – as we prepare to re-open the Drop-In – will you help fuel the future of WISH?

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

#BCPolitics #nonprofit
BC’s nonprofit sector is in crisis.

From running food banks to health care and housing programs—groups provide a safety net that is fraying as public systems fall short.

Over 200 nonprofit leaders have signed an open letter explaining that many groups may not survive.
