It was a beautiful sunny day as the line was formed down the block awaiting hot dogs, juice, coffee and dessert for all.
The Association of South Asian Professionals of British Columbia (ASAP) served 1,000 hotdogs to the less fortunate. The group worked with Friendship Providers in Action, had its Hotdog Day for the Homeless at Oppenheimer Park in East Vancouver.
The group of South Asian professionals also distributed over 100 pieces of gently used clothing to the less fortunate members of society.
By raising awareness, ASAP hopes others will join in to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the approximately 2,300 homeless people in Vancouver.
“The issue of homelessness should be a major concern for everyone in British Columbia,” says Jindy Bhalla, President of ASAP. “There are several reports suggesting that the number of people that will be homeless could triple in the Lower Mainland in the next few years.
“This problem needs to be addressed now before it gets any worse. ASAP and its members are doing their part by getting involved and giving back to the community.”
Bhalla added that ASAP encourages and challenging others to join them to help resolve the plight of the homeless.
“This is fantastic, you guys are great, we really appreciated all you are doing for us,” said one homeless man.
Others rejoiced: “Thank you, thank you; you have really made our day!”
In a couple of hours, all the food was served and they all left with smiles on their faces.
This was the second major event ASAP has held during its short existence.
This past December, ASAP members donated brand new warm blankets to over 300 homeless people during the winter cold spell.
Each member of ASAP purchased these blankets with their own funds to show their commitment to ASAP’s vision.
