FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHRISTMAS GIFT DONATIONS NEEDED FOR HOMELESS in DTES

Lookout Emergency Aid Society - a non-profit housing society in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside needs your help!
Many of our tenants & shelter guests find Christmas a lonely time of year for many reasons and many have no connection to family members.

Each year, Lookout Emergency Aid Society tries to give a gift to our tenants and guests on Christmas Day. The atmosphere of excitement and gratitude is evident when they receive their gifts! This year, due to the increased number of tenants and guests, we are asking for NEW GIFT donations (approx. $5.00 limit) to ensure that everyone receives a gift.

Our wish list is for brand new items such as:
- bath towels and kitchen towels
- socks
- slippers (generic size L)
- umbrellas
- rain ponchos (good for those guests that are in electric wheelchairs)
Of course, any gift is greatly appreciated, even if not from our wish list!

*There is no need to wrap your donated gift, we have volunteers who are helping with this.

Please drop off your donations to:
528 Powell Street
LivingRoom Drop In
Between the hours of 10am – 8:00 pm weekdays
and 10:00 – 6:00 pm on weekends

Your donation will help us to brighten someone’s Christmas and make them feel included in the festivities around this time. Thank you for your kindness!!
