RainCity Housing

Happy Solstice! Tonight is the longest night of the year. Tomorrow the light returns and the days begin to grow longer. No matter how we came to know about each other as a friend in person or virtually, by providing donations of all kinds, or showing your support in other ways - thank you for bringing more light into the lives of the people we are honoured to work with every day. - BB

Hello, good people. Due to Dr Henry's weekend announcement, we've made some temporary changes to our work protocols at RainCity. You can read them at our updated blog post. Stay healthy and safe, everyone! - BB https://www.raincityhousing.org/covid-19-response-october-/

Live music? How? Have the show outside and on the street! Blue Dirt Girl has raised funds for us before, and we're very excited she is doing again! And, that it will be part of a world-wide event, Play Music on the Porch! Their motto is "What if everything just stopped and we listened to music?". If you're in Vancouver this Saturday, Aug 29, just stroll down East 23rd at Inverness and listen for the music between 4pm and 6pm. If you like what you hear, make a donation via our website. You can even do it from your phone! For all who attend: help stop the spread of COVID 19 - wear a mask and listen from a safe distance. Huge thanks to Blue Dirt Girl! - BB

How we’re addressing COVID-19 during these difficult times - please read our latest blog post outlining the steps we've been taking and the protocols we have in place.

As the COVID-19 situation intensifies, we’ve put measures in place for the safety of our residents, participants and staff. To minimize contact we are not accepting drop-offs of clothing or donations of other items at this time. Thank you for your understanding and continued support! Another way to support us is to donate safely and securely from your own home by visiting our direct donation page. Huge thanks to all of you who donate to us and make it possible for us to respond even faster to this crisis. https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/DonationPage.aspx
