i'm volunteering at a senior home, just push the elderly in wheelchairs down to the basement for mass then bring them back up.

I'm In the same boat as you man. Soup kitchens down town like 'The Door is open' has been a pretty cool experience for me.

Besides, I was hoping for more than just one person.........


this way, I may run into a former coworker who has lost his way and ended up in the DTES. Been living there for a good 12 or so years.

I'd be down haha, feel free to invite me to a volunteering opportunity

^ I would, but i would prefer there be a bigger group of 7-8 people.

Last time i went walking DTES with a buddy for a project........lets just say it was a terrifying experience.

You get what you feel out of it. The DTES is a really pleasant place if you aren't too afraid of it. I love the vendors on the street. I tend not to haggle with them when I see something I want. The binners worked hard for that shit.

LOL it's changed sooo much...gentrified to the max, especially Chinatown and the immediate area around Army & Navy (e.g. Pigeon Park)
