Project Hastings
Youth-led non-profit led by students who are determined to combat food insecurity and empower those in Vancouver's DTES.
Our Mission
Project Hastings is a student-led nonprofit organization that not only alleviates food disparity in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside but also aims to help the community through the distribution of necessities. Our team of over 250 youth students are motivated to make a difference.
Our Team
As members within our communities, the volunteers of Project Hastings are focused on improving the quality of life for the less-fortunate. We are committed to acknowledging the rights and humanity of all and will hold ourselves accountable with integrity as we work towards serving and empowering the DTES community.
Our Background
We are entirely led by secondary-school students from throughout Metro Vancouver who are eager to create real change in their community, as well as fight to empower those experiencing homelessness. Volunteers gather at various sites across the Lower Mainland, with a primary focus of the Downtown Eastside community, to deliver hot meals, water bottles, blankets, socks and other seasonal needs requested by the community.
