Seeing is Believing Tour - June 30th, 2009

On June 30th, 2009, Bob Elton (Board Member of Streetohome) and Jae Kim (President of Streetohome) hosted a tour for local business executives who wanted to know more about the homelessness issue in Vancouver. The following non profits welcomed us into their community: Potluck Cafe, Raincity, Covenant House and Coast Mental Health. The time spent engaging with the clients and social workers at these non profits proved to be an educational and meaningful time for all participants.
