SUMMARY:Food Hub - Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:Food Hub – Vancouver and Burnaby\nPacific Immigrant Resources Society (PIRS) has identified that access to food is one of the top 5 basic needs in the immigrant and refugee communities.

The two locations are at South Vancouver Family Place and Journey Home in Burnaby\, where a majority of our clients are based\, and families can either pick up bags from the hub or are delivered the bags.

SUMMARY:Food Hub - Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:Food Hub – Vancouver and Burnaby\nPacific Immigrant Resources Society (PIRS) has identified that access to food is one of the top 5 basic needs in the immigrant and refugee communities. The COVID-19 crisis has affected a majority of newcomer families\, with over 50% reporting loss of income\, as well financial and housing instability. In collaboration with donors\, PIRS has started two community-based food hubs to help immigrant and refugee families struggling with food insecurity. The two locations are at South Vancouver Family Place and Journey Home in Burnaby\, where a majority of our clients are based\, and families can either pick up bags from the hub or are delivered the bags.

They were the women people turned to for advice and information. They were women who were eager to find out more and do more. Our Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program was created to help empower newcomer women to gain confidence and become active in their community. \nThrough facilitated group learning\, LEAD gives new English-speakers a thoughtful next step out of isolation and into their community. Classes and guest speakers explore topics such as the Canadian Government\, Health Care\, and Volunteerism. Program content has evolved and continues to do so to adjust to economic and social conditions. \nThis program is designed for newcomer women who speak enough English (Canadian Language Benchmark 5) and are interested in self-development\, curious about job-readiness\, training\, or higher education. \nWomen who take part in LEAD learn: \n\nSelf-awareness\nAssertiveness\nGoal setting and planning\nGroup process and teamwork\nHow to identify obstacles\nTo understand women’s issues \nFinancial skills
