3rd Annual Community Christmas Craft Fair 2012 in Vancouver Downtown Eastside
The Community Christmas Craft Fair is a unique experience to support low-income women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Crafts are affordably priced, vendors are part of a supportive community that the public is welcomed into, and the event has no cost to vendors which means all proceeds go directly to the artists. Not only that, but submission to the fair is restricted to low-income residents in the DTES, many of whom are involved in drug and alcohol treatment and employment training programs.
STATUS: A Community Dialogue on HIV/AIDS Services, Supports and Prevention Strategies for Women in the DTES
Presented by PHS Community Services Society and PHS Drug Users Resources Centre
Presented for Support Workers, Service Providers and Peer Workers
