GRATITUDE WEEK asks
By
Colette
GRATITUDE WEEK TO END HOMELESSNESS is a series of free awareness and fundraising events taking place in Vancouver, BC from October 12–16 in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery and include a daily Gratitude Gathering, mental health forums and street collections.
Gratitude Week Founder, Ronald Josephson poses the following challenge to his fellow citizens: if you have something you can be grateful for--a job, a friend, a place to live--then join us in showing our gratitude and do one thing to help end homelessness in our city. Participate, donate, spread the word.
Gratitude Week's "Give a dollar. Give a damn." campaign is collecting funds to help renovate two housing projects in the Downtown East Side. (31 W Pender and 110 Water Street.)
