Thank you to all the sponsors, donors, volunteers and supporters who joined us at our third annual event HERSTORY IN FOCUS!
October 18, 2018, 6.30 pm at the Vancouver Art Gallery
Together with our generous community of support, we raised over $65,000 for the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre! As well, women of the Centre put on an inspirational performance in the fashion show, sharing their culture, pride, and empowerment in a show that brought guests to their feet.
Herstory aimed to raise $50,000 for the drop-in centre and meal program, providing over 500 meals daily to women. As the sole low-barrier drop-in space in the Downtown Eastside for women, DEWC provides invaluable sanctuary to women in a highly marginalized community, with the meal program serving as the entry point to the Centre and a continuum of care.
A huge and heartfelt thank you to all who were involved in the night’s success, and helped us surpass our goal so we can continue to feed, nourish, welcome, and empower women who come through our doors.
