Each year the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre hosts a Christmas Dinner for over 450 women and children of the neighbourhood. We also hold special breakfasts on Christmas and New Year’s mornings. We depend on the generosity of the community to provide our members with these special holiday celebrations.  These events contribute to the joy and happiness of hundreds of women every year.

This is a remarkable opportunity to share in the spirit of the season. In addition to the food needed for the Christmas dinners and food hampers (vegetables, juice, non-perishable food items, tea and coffee), we are accepting new unwrapped gifts for women, children, and the often-overlooked teen and pre-teen age group.   Financial contributions are used to purchase these items and other necessities for the events.
