The North Shore Neighbourhood House (NSNH) has served the North Shore community since 1939. A not-for-profit registered charity, The House “values and promotes cooperation, respect and empowerment through the provision of programs and services designed to meet the needs of individuals and the community as a whole.” Their support of the North Shore’s most vulnerable children, youth, families, and seniors is a year ’round endeavor. Over the weekend, our Dakeryn families had opportunity for sharing in Christmas food drives for both the NSNH and First United Church in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. It was a festive atmosphere when everyone joined in yesterday to put together 40 Christmas dinner hampers, with the ringing of jingle bells replacing the sound of phones that were not.
