Stay Cool
Did you know our cooling sites provide a safe haven for those without access to air conditioning or cool spaces?
Public health and safety are our top priority.
Stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and check on your neighbors.

With over 17% of British Columbians experiencing food insecurity, the work of our teams to provide healthy food has become more important than ever. Getting healthy food right where it is needed most.

Laronde Elementary students learned a lot during a visit to the White Rock Daytime Warming Centre recently: surreyschools.ca/_ci/p/16604…
They also brought donations as well a large ‘Welcome’ painting for the shelter!

Embracing the warmth in the midst of the storm!
Our shelter doors are open wide to welcome those seeking refuge from the cold. We've got meals, hot drinks, cozy clothes, social workers, mental health councillors and medical assistance to share.

Our hygiene days bring a closeness with another human being that many haven't had for so long due to years of neglect and lack of access. New clothes, showering and getting free haircut provides a health check and a huge boost in confidence!

Today while commemorating Khalsa Sajna Divas in the @CityofSurrey we continued to ensure the equitable access to health resources and gave out 1000’s of rapid tests, sanitizer and masks. Public health done right.

Packed up and ready to go to a new home! 🥹 Our shelter is a temporary solution so we work hard to deliver housing with partners so people can build healthy lives. Our intervention and advocacy is designed to help the most vulnerable find a home.

Our mobile sites include councillors, Dr’s, nurses and the Ministry of Social Development & Poverty Reduction to provide fast life-saving interventions and social supports (housing, income supports, ID’s) for the most vulnerable.
Rapid deployment = lives saved.

To reduce overdose risk our Mobile Health Unit safely & rapidly checks drugs for fentanyl (and analogues) to reduce death, hospitalizations and increase public safety. The sample shown tested positive.

A giant leap…Doctor’s have joined our team to assist efforts to bridge health/social care and remove restrictive barriers that hurt the most vulnerable and limit their access to housing and other vital supports.

Biting cold, lack of health care, inequitable access to hygiene & nutrition, accidents and diseases can lead to chronic wounds for many. We are grateful for the healing brought to the most vulnerable at our shelter by an exceptional team of @Fraserhealth nurses.
