Downtown Eastside Women's Centre

Double Your Donations for Downtown Eastside Women

Starting end of May 2020, Unison Architecture is raising funds for the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre (DEWC) in Vancouver, BC. Our goal is to match dollar for dollar of your generous contribution up to $12,500. This is our first fundraiser ever! We are hoping to start a tradition of community outreach opportunities to strength our community and those closest to us.

For information on the DEWC and what they do for our community: read some of the information below, and check out the DEWC website.

Please consider giving to this amazing organization. They are working towards helping women, children, and seniors find a safe space that provides and shelters them from difficult situations.
