Hi everyone!
I'm running a 5k to raise money for Jacob's Well - a drop-in centre in the Downtown Eastside that has meant a lot to me over the past few years. I've both worked there and spent a lot of time as a volunteer/community member. The Well was my first foray into working in the nonprofit sector and definitely changed the trajectory of my career and interests.
Not familiar with The Well? They are a truly unique grassroots space that has had a significant impact on the well-being of the community it serves: those living on the margins, experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and/or addiction.
It is a welcoming, fun and sometimes slightly chaotic (in the best way) place that is beloved by the community. Let's raise some money for the Well to help it continue to offer a safe space for those who need it!
