We are excited to announce the release of our Annual Impact Report for the year 2023-24! This report reflects another year of the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre (DEWC) working alongside women to create meaningful change.
The past year has been one of challenges, resilience, and incredible community spirit. Through it all, we have stayed true to our mission: providing a safe space and essential services while supporting women to amplify their voices and access what they need to thrive.
What You’ll Find in the Report
The Annual Impact Report highlights the work we’ve done together, including:
- Services Provided: A look at how many meals were shared, how many women accessed programs, and how our services have supported connection and healing.
- Advocacy Achievements: Stories from women who have used DEWC’s resources to speak up and create change.
- Community Initiatives: Examples of how we are addressing systemic challenges such as poverty, violence, and racism, especially as they impact women in the Downtown Eastside.
- Looking Ahead: Insights into our vision for the future and the steps we’ll take to get there.
Why This Matters
The stories and statistics in this report are more than numbers—they represent the lives impacted by your support. Each meal served, program attended, and voice amplified is a step toward a safer, more equitable future for the women of the Downtown Eastside.
Thank You for Being Part of the Change
None of this work would be possible without the support of our donors, volunteers, staff, and allies. You have stood beside us, ensuring we can offer the services that make a real difference.
