Thank you to all our members who contributed to our warm clothing drive in January (Green Earth Collects Warmth for Those in Need)! The Covenant House sent us a very nice thank you letter that we'd like to share with you:
On behalf of the youth we serve I'd like to thank you for collecting items for donation to Covenant House Vancouver. We're also grateful to your client base for assisting you in this endeavour.
The youth accessing our drop-in centre program are most in need of access to clothing and cold weather gear. Donated items such as these are sorted and placed in the clothing room in our drop-in centre; young people coming in seeking our help can replace their worn-out clothing, shoes and cold-weather items. Something as simple as a gently-used sweater can make the world of difference to a young person trying to survive on Vancouver's streets.
The drop-in centre is one of four key programs that make up Covenant House's Continuum of Care which includes: street outreach, the residential crisis shelter and a transitional living program. Collectively these programs meet the young people we help "where they're at", giving them the tools to permanently leave the streets behind. Last year alone we assisted almost 2,000 youths across all our programs.
We are grateful for your hard work on our behalf; it's very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Mark Savard
