~~~~~~~ ABOUT THE DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE WOMEN'S CENTRE ~~~~~~~


Funds raised from the 2012 Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival will be donated to the food services programs of the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre in Vancouver. Founded in 1978, DEWC is one of the few safe spaces within the Downtown Eastside exclusively for
women and their children.

In addition to providing a refuge and shelter from conditions of poverty and violence, the Centre offers basic necessities including hot meals, clothing, a secure mailing address, phone and computer access, and showers. The Centre assists women with their immediate and crisis needs so they can develop stability and access the resources they need to improve health, family, employment and housing situations. They promote positive change by offering individual long-term support, education, advocacy, peer mentorship
and exposure to alternatives.
