Cycling with Sally

During our time in Vancouver, B.C, we spent the better part of three days volunteering at Harbour Light which is run by the Salvation Army in the downtown area.  Click here to learn about Harbour Light and the services they provide.    We did a variety of jobs while we were in this bustling and positive environment, such as: cleaning down the 'drop in' centre kitchen; cleaning containers, walls and benches in the soup kitchen; making a gazillion sandwiches to include in takeout bags for people needing a meal; assisting in serving the meal for the lunch service which feeds at least 300 people everyday.   We got the most pleasure out of talking with the other volunteers during the food service who were actively participating in in the treatment programmes as part of their rehabilitation.  Thank you to Kecia who made us feel welcome and for giving us a tour of the facility.  You, your colleagues and the volunteers do such a wonderful job there. 

We would like to take this opportunity  to thank Amelia Norrie, the PR assistant at the B.C. Headquarters for being ever so helpful with supporting our concept and smoothing the road ahead in terms of contacting local Salvation Armies that we will be/have already been passing through.  We were so stoked when they wanted to supply us with cycling shirts that had both our logo and the Salvation Army logo on them.  They look super styley and make us look a little bit more legit!   Once again, thank you very much to Amelia, Major Susan van Duinen, Brian Venables and Johnny at the B.C. Headquarters for your enthusiasm - it's contagious!
