Harvest Project's New Home





YOU know them well, or at least you should. North Vancouver's Harvest Project consists of a wonderful group of volunteers and workers who are dedicated to "breaking the welfare cycle". They offer people in need "a hand up, not a hand out." They're success is legendary, as is their leader, David Foster. And now they have a new home. They're relocated from their previous Esplanade location to a new home just south of Marine Drive. Thanks to the donations of many local companies, they have a great roof over their head and a great future ahead of them. Check out these smiles from their Saturday April 7th open house.
