I would have been another statistic

REBUILDING THE
DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE
The Salvation Army Vancouver Harbour Light
has been a key part of the social infrastructure
of the Downtown Eastside for over six decades.
We feed, shelter and provide more services and
programs than any non-governmental
organization in the community, but we need a
new Vision.
The new realities impacting the community
have pushed our ability to serve to the limit and
our buildings have reached their ability to serve.
The facilities can no longer support the growing
demands… and it's time for a new facility.
The nine-storey, 170,000 sq ft, purpose-built
facility will replace the four aging buildings we
currently use and consolidate programs and
services under one roof. New programs will be
created, including a much-needed women's
treatment program.
This once-in-a-generation project will
transform peoples' lives and revitalize the
community, now and for years to come. To be
a part of this vision, contact us today.

My story is not unique. I was an addict and I needed
help. The Salvation Army took me in without
judgement and they saved my life. I work there now,
sending the elevator back down to help others like me.
