The Capacity Research Unit and our community research partner – the Inner City Women’s Initiatives Society – are working together to provide essential food services to women in the DTES. Under the leadership of the Society, we are working to prepare and deliver daily meals to women to help them stay safe and well during the COVID-19 pandemic. Keeping women fed and away from crowds is critical to their survival. The number of women facing hunger is increasing daily and their access to food resources continues to decline.
To support our Society partners to continue their work at the front-line, we at Capacity are helping to facilitate donations at this time. 100% of donations made to the Capacity Research Unit will be used to purchase food for women in the DTES. Please donate now by clicking on our donate button at the top of the page.

You can reach her by cell (778-892-9044) or email (LindaDewar@shaw.ca).
