Mission Possible - Vancouver Downtown Eastside
This FRESH START program is designed to work in partnership with the team from Mission Possible to encourage and promote opportunities to sustain a positive momentum as these residents of the downtown eastside (Vancouver's poorest neighbourhood) make a courageous decision to look for work and get back into mainstream life with good food...good advice and clean clothes...one step at a time. Mission Possible believes in a hand up not a hand out as we help create an atmosphere that empowers others to get back on track.
The Mission Possible FRESH START program was established in January 2009, and has grown into a fantastic network of volunteer opportunities for all to engage in. There are many opportunities to get involved each week at the Mission ranging from feeding the homeless....to clothing the homeless. We encourage all of you to check us out..."if everyone does a little...a lot gets done." Our volunteers range from high-school students....college grads...business executives to stay at home moms....we welcome all of you into our wellness circle at FRESH AIR.
"Mission Possible is in the business of transformation. We live see the lives of our clients and our volunteers transformed as they work together for hope in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Fresh Air Life is one of those partners that has caught the vision. Transformation happens as we dare to risk sharing our lives with one another, realizing though our life experiences may differ, there is still a space for a human connection. The women of Fresh Air Life tackle the great outdoors of Vancouver with a sense of adventure and sisterhood, but their real courage is seen as they work in the shadows of our city, caring for those in need. Mission Possible salutes their efforts."
–Brian Postlewait, CEO Mission Possible
