Giving Tuesday - after a wknd of spending on gifts

Giving Tuesday - after a wknd of spending on gifts it’s nice to give back by donating to someone who could use it. Enter the @vanfoodbank who provides much needed nourishment to families across the Lower Mainland. We’re donating funds today and we hope you’ll join us.

Some stats:
1. One out of 3 food bank users in BC is a child.
🍏
2. Approx 3,000 babies under the age of 2 receive help from a food bank in BC every month.
🍎
3. Since the start of the pandemic, over 50% of food banks reported an increase in demand for services, as much as 250%.
🍏
On Dec 3 @cbcvancouver is hosting their annual Food Bank Day where they’ll be doing a special broadcast and meet & greet of the hosts. They’re hoping to surpass last year’s record-breaking $2,721,112 for local food banks in BC. You can help them meet that pledge by donating in the link in our bio @boredinvancouver .
.
Happy Giving Tuesday all!

Interview with an artist ~

What’s great about this year’s Eastside Culture Crawl is that you actually get to make appointments with some of the studios and spend time with the artists. Usually the crawl can be so busy you find yourself in a long line of observers and looking over the tops of heads to get a glimpse of the artist with their work. This time around we actually got to listen to the inspiration and motivation of each piece. A big thank you to @mattheartist @lynnagoldharpaintings @nimaanasiri for sharing their thoughts while we filmed them. Also thank you to @uscochi, Tanis Turner, @studio403art and Aidan Walsh for letting us take their photo.
.
Eastside Culture Crawl continues to November 21. Visit @culturecrawl for participating studios and artists.
