Community Donors
Our donors and funders provide about 50% of the revenue necessary to carry out our work in the Downtown Eastside. By joining our Community Donors, you’ll join thousands of other individuals who also believe in providing survival-supports to those who call the Downtown Eastside home, advocating for justice and equity for those who are oppressed, and providing sanctuary in the heart of our city. Please consider donating today!
