Eat, Drink, Connect and Give
$20 (donation to Care Pack Project Foundation)
An event where you can help give back to your community all while enjoying good food and drinks, great music, a cozy environment, connecting with other good people is happening soon!
At this event we’d have drinks, some Christmas themed decor, good music and a fun and comfortable environment where we all assemble packs containing essential items that I’ll distribute on or around Christmas Eve! 100 packs are already made and the goal is to make 100 more. I’ll also have Christmas cards ready so that you can write a message that hopefully will inspire hope to someone in need. Everyone needs hope and needs to be told that they matter. I’ll give out your card with a pack that you make on Christmas Eve!
Please e-transfer your $20 attendance fee to [email protected]. 100% of your donation/attendance free will go towards purchasing items to go into the packs! We don’t have any paid employees and Emporia is generously hosting this event for free.
Make a real difference with the help of a locally run non profit that’s been operating for years on Vancouver Island and helps our unhoused residents directly.
Keep an eye on our facebook page for updates. The details of the event will be finalized within a couple of days – I’m collaborating with the owner of Emporia as we speak, but it will likely happen on December 6th starting at 2pm!
About the Care Pack Project Foundation:
The Care Pack Project is a registered non profit in which I and community members go around downtown Victoria (and surrounding areas) handing out “Care Packs” and essential items to Victoria’s homeless. 2025 will mark year 11 of the project happening which I’m super excited about! So far the biggest handout happens on or around Christmas day because it’s cold, it’s dark, and it’s an extra hard time of year for many, however, as my non profit grows I hope to do more handouts of packs yearly and/or on a bigger scale. I usually make and distribute 100 packs at Christmas but I have made up to 150. Alongside this I do handouts of essential items as donations come in and items are purchased (think socks, toques, ponchos, handwarmers- basically anything that’s needed regularly).
Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and Xwsepsum Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
