Connecting to homelessness

,

Project Connect donations are pouring in! Thanks to the Oak Bay residents collecting for those in need in our community.

A recent tour of Our Place in downtown Victoria opened a new avenue of giving for one Oak Bay resident. Britt Swoveland thought to herself, “this is just amazing” post-tour. It inspired her to get involved in the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness winter program, Project Connect. It’s one-day service and information fair for those experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty. Attendees get lunch and a wide range of free services, including care packs, medical attention, ID replacement, haircuts and pet care.
