Doors Open, Hearts Open: Community Care in the DTES

At the Vancouver ID Research Care Centre Society, we believe no should be left outside of care. Every week, we open our door t any one who needs supports, no appointment needed

Why We Need Your Help Today

Many of our neighbors in the DTES face complex health challenges, including HIV, hepatitis C, addiction and chronic pain, along with barriers like no phone, no fixed address, or past experiences of being turned away. Our weekly community care day removes those barriers. Right now, our goal is to raise $10,000 to sustain and grow this program and our community outreach.

How Your Support Helps:

• Walk-In Care, No Barriers: Anyone can come in without an appointment for testing, health checks, and treatment check-ins. 
• Food and Basic Needs: Every visitor is offered care, snacks, essentials, because good health starts with having enough to eat.
• Connection and Dignity: Peer-friendly education, counselling and a welcoming space where everyone is treated with respect.
• Direct Impact: Every dollar goes straight to our weekly community care day and to reaching more neighbors who need us.
