H O P E , A W A Y from H O M E ๐ Every week, our Club Freedom team set out to bring support to those experiencing homelessness in areas across our region.
Last week, they headed to Coquitlam. ๐
That night, there were approximately a dozen people in the encampment, sleeping outside with only makeshift shelters to call 'home'.
The Coquitlam Shelter (3030 Gordon) is also a supportive housing unit with 30 private rooms. We are grateful to be able to share with those in residence here.
Our team brought brought juice boxes, granola bars, and invitations to our Club Freedom community meals and our housing support service The HOPE Project.
This week, they were also able to bring 3 ZacPacs from ZacPac Project ๐ซถ๐ฝ high-quality sleeping bag kits, filled with additional resources.
The impact was visible and tangible. People were very appreciative of the things our team gave out - but the biggest impact came from having conversations with each person.
One of our Outreach workers gave out a Zac Pac to a man who has a job, but still had no where to sleep. "He got very excited when I gave him the ZacPac. It seemed like he needed it pretty badly." ๐
Even with no fixed address -
THESE are our neighbours.
We will serve them with everything we have. ๐ค
