With compassion and community spirit, a group of secondary students took action to support those in need, delivering care packages to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
After spending the past year running a school store to raise funds, these young entrepreneurs turned their efforts into meaningful action. Using their profits, they carefully assembled 100 care packages, ensuring each one provided warmth and comfort. Inside, recipients found mittens, neck warmers, non-perishable food, bottled water, and hygiene products — items chosen to make a real difference during the cold winter months.
"Even just two hours in the cold made us realize how difficult it must be for those living outside," reflected one student. The experience not only provided essential supplies but also deepened students' understanding of the challenges faced by others in their community, reinforcing the impact of compassion and collective action.
