Mavis McMullen Housing Society hasn't added a story.
The sixth annual Workout for Women’s Day is happening March 2-8, 2024, and Mavis McMullen Housing Society (www.mavismcmullen.org) has been selected as one of this year’s recipient charities!
Workout for Women’s Day is a coming together of local movement studios and instructors around International Women's Day to offer public and private corporate classes for charities that support girls, women, and people of other marginalized genders. Join a workout class and help support a great cause! Registration is open at www.strongertogethervancouver.com.
Your participation in this event will help support the Mavis McMullen Housing Society Playground Project - creating a safe outdoor space for women and children in the Downtown Eastside.
Mavis McMullen Housing Society’s women-led housing model has been offering stable, affordable, and independent housing to women and their families in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver since 1986. Our resilient women and their families are determined to live abundant lives despite facing complex challenges, including poverty, addiction and mental illness, and trauma. But they are united in their desire to live – and thrive – independently.
One of the largest needs for our residents with children is a safe place to bring their children to play outside. Fresh air and activity are critical for young children’s physical, social, and mental health – but for too many mothers on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, the risks in outdoor spaces outweigh the benefits of going out. They need a safe place for their kids to just be kids.
We need your help to transform our tired, worn down courtyard into a safe and inviting outdoor space for our women and their children to gather, play, and grow.
Your donation goes a long way.
- $10 buys seeds for vegetables and herbs to fill planter boxes
- $25 can buy indigenous plants and flowers for the garden spaces
- $50 can buy outdoor toys and games
- $75 can buy gardening tools
- $100 can help fund a picnic or summer barbeque in the garden
- $125 can provide a gardening workshop for children and teens
- $150 or more can help fund the installation of a playground structure and safety flooring
Installing a playground and safety flooring will cost approximately $30,000. This is a big goal for us but we are committed to making this happen. Your donations will help us make a playground a reality for our families!
