Our Place Society in 2009, 'Hope & Belonging' for Homelessness in Victoria BC

Our Place Society recently showcased a video titled 'Hope & Belonging' at their annual gala event, A Taste of Britain, held at Crystal Gardens. The goal of Our Place is to give a hand up to people who are down on their luck and need a place to sleep, a hot lunch, or counselling on how to get off the street. The video showed guests at the fundraiser event what Our Place does so as to build an understanding of issues facing the homeless and describe how the community centre can help. The video was met with praise from board members at Our Place, as well as from guests at the fundraiser who said it gave them an emotional connection to the society.

Our Place is a non-profit society formed by the alliance of the Open Door and The Upper Room in 2006. It offers a sense of belonging to Greater Victoria's most vulnerable citizens. Our Place provides a home, nourishment and hope through living, sharing, learning and worshipping together.
