VANCOUVER, BC, March 28, 2024 /CNW/ - The Salvation Army
Vancouver Harbour Light is getting ready to celebrate Easter with a
special brunch meal service for residents of the Downtown Eastside.
On Monday, April 1 a community meal
will be served with a unique menu that includes an omelet,
hashbrowns, seasonal fruit, chocolate and more. The kitchen staff
is preparing to crack about 800 eggs, order 450 hot cross buns, and
serve 450 portions of waffles and 800 sausages that day.
"Easter is a time to celebrate hope and renewal which many of
our clients seek when they first come to Harbour Light. For many of
our clients, Harbour Light represents a fresh, new beginning as
they embark on their recovery journey in our continuum-of-care
programs. We want to bring that spirit of hope into our Easter
meals." – Cindy Cheung, Community
Engagement Coordinator, The Salvation Army
Volunteers will be able to help by serving the meals in a
similar style to the daily community meals served at Vancouver
Harbour Light. Guests will also receive candy bars and extra
goodies to help mark the holiday. The community meal is open to all
including families and children, and accommodations will be
provided for guests with disability challenges.
