Season’s greetings from your friends at WISH!

We are unable to accept physical donations during the office closure and appreciate your understanding.

Today we share our stories, and our strategies.
We care for and protect each other.
We remember the lives that have been taken.
And we demand the end of violence against sex workers.

Donations of new, or gently used, umbrellas are needed!

You can make a difference for someone at WISH with your gift of warm clothing, winter jackets, or waterproof boots – and right now MAP Van participants are especially in need of umbrellas.

The criminalization of sex work increases the risk of gender-based violence.

That’s why it’s a priority at WISH to provide services when that are needed – like our overnight Drop-In and MAP Van programs – and safety tools like the weekly Red Light Alert.

“People thrive off nature,” says a WISH Shelter Manager. But on the DTES, surrounded by concrete, nature is in short supply.

That’s why the small garden in WISH’s backlot is so important.

As one shelter resident recently shared, these flowers and plants make it feel “more human.”

Sharing your story, like Phyllis Webstad did, can be incredibly powerful.

Today in the WISH Shelter, participants are invited to design their own #OrangeShirt & enjoy a special bannock brunch.

We are grateful to honour the spirit of #TruthAndReconciliation together, in community.
