Covenant House Vancouver

I know it is a few days early, but for over 130 youth who are currently living on the streets it was Christmas Day. A Christmas complete with turkey and treats, presents and fun, and most importantly love and respect. Each year we have a Christmas party where youth who are not in any of our residential programs get to experience a true Christmas.

 It is a wonderful thing to be a part of: to see the joy on faces of youth receiving perhaps their first present, seeing young people groan with full tummies and seeing all of the youth, volunteers and staff sharing time together.
It is because of so many wonderful people in the community that we are able to do this- people who donate food, backpacks, treats and presents.
