To deal with the COVID-19 outbreak and address the needs of Vancouver’s most vulnerable. Sidoo Family Giving recently provided sanitizers and masks to residents of Oppenheimer Park. In order to prevent the threat we need to unite and protect our most vulnerable communities. “The situation is serious, and it is urgent. In a neighborhood where space, food, supplies, and everything is shared, if we have one infection, it could decimate this entire community,” DTES SRO Collaborative Society’s Wendy Pedersen says.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Sidoo Family Giving has started working with non-profits to provide hand sanitizers and masks to low-income women and children, vulnerable seniors, and others in need in our community.
The foundation has now worked with four programs in Vancouver run by non-profits like Whole Way House, 10th Avenue Church, and Sikh Temples in both Richmond and Vancouver. This initiative will deliver hundreds of masks and sanitizers to families and seniors impacted by the pandemic.
We also wanted to share with our supporters a few preventative tips to help stop the spread of respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.
