Unity Street Help VSP is a grassroots organization that helps those in need of warm winter clothing. We've decided to team up with our friends from Vans Canada and Joel Muller Design to help out. For the month of December and January, you can drop off your old winter gear for a chance to win a Half Cab sterling silver pendant.
HOW TO ENTER:
Every warm piece of clothing donated, in the store, will be eligible for a chance to win. Each item gets you closer to winning a pendant. A winter jacket will count as 2 tickets. All other items will count as 1. Items must be in good wearable condition to enter. You may donate as many warm wintery items as you like. All donations must be in by Jan 30th. The raffle will take place on Feb 1st and the winner will be notified via email the same day.
CONGRATS TO SEB AND KARLA FOR WINNING THE PENDANTS
About Unity Street Help VSP:
In 2021, Alicia Reid started Unity Street Help VSP to continue the legacy of Carl Crosdale, aka. Fatta Rex, whose apartment in Ville Saint Pierre was a place where all community members were welcome to eat, rest, socialize, get clothes, and re-group no matter their circumstances. This initiative was inspired by and made possible with the guidance of an Indigenous elder and the founder of Unity Street Help Cornwall, Tina Point.
Unity Street Help VSP is a volunteer-run, mutual-aid organization supporting members of the Ville Saint-Pierre community in Tio'tia:ke / Montreal. All needs are communicated from VSP directly to Alicia through Facebook or word of mouth. Resources provided include clothing, food, household essentials, bus tickets, seasonal care packages, job listings, housing, and connecting folks with other resources.
