Two sisters from the Vancouver YSA congregation visited Directions Youth Services and got a tour of the facility dedicated to supporting vulnerable youth who are in crisis or experiencing homelessness due to a variety of factors. The facility includes amenities to provide youth with a hot meal, as well as other resources to gain work experience and make connections with the community through art and other media.

The Directions Youth Services wish-list included board games for youth at the drop-in centre, so the Young Single Adults chose some of their favourites to purchase and donate.

Thais Venditti, Burnaby Ward Relief Society President met with Janna Florant, Program Manager, Dixon House to deliver 25 personal self-care and hygiene kits, including shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, lip balm, hand lotion and soap.

Atira's wish list was for slippers, socks,  and new face and bath towels. The Vancouver 4th Ward lovingly assembled these items, and included a note of encouragement written on the art notecards from the One Billion Rising contest winners.
