๐Ÿชถ Honouring truth and equity.

๐Ÿค Connection is care.

When people are excluded, their physical and mental health decline.
When theyโ€™re welcomed, supported, and included, recovery is possible.

Letโ€™s build community together.

๐Ÿš‘ Health access saves lives.

People without stable housing often canโ€™t access regular medical care. Many rely on emergency rooms โ€” or go without.

Through the UGM Outreach Clinic, I bring care to where itโ€™s needed most.

That means limited access to healthy food โ€” and higher risks of chronic disease.
This week, you can help by donating $10 grocery or Tim Hortons gift cards. Your small action makes a big impact.

๐Ÿ  Housing is a health issue.
Adequate housing improves physical and mental health, reduces hospital visits, and supports recovery.

In BC, 4,821 people were experiencing homelessness in 2023 (BC Housing).

I see this firsthand through my work with the UGM Outreach Clinic โ€” where stable shelter is often the first step toward better health.

Health is not just about medical care โ€” itโ€™s about where we live, what we eat, and the supports around us.

Today is World Homeless Day and the start of Homelessness Action Week (Oct 11โ€“18). Weโ€™re highlighting how the Social Determinants of Health โ€” things like housing, food, income, and community connection โ€” shape well-being here in New Westminster.

๐Ÿงฃ Our big ask this week: Emergency blankets (available on Amazon or through local retailers).
Weโ€™re also accepting socks, menโ€™s underwear (new), and $10 grocery or Tim Hortons gift cards.

Message us to drop off at our clinic or for pickup if in downtown New Westminster.
Donations distributed through the UGM New Westminster.
