lauren McClintock is asking you to bring in your unwanted clothing to the gym for charity. We will have a box in the reception area.
Cleaning out the closet of your pre-paleo wardrobe could be liberating. 
The Vancouver Intensive Supervision Unit (VISU) is an integrated team of health professionals, probation officers, and an addictions counsellor. VISU clients struggle with multiple barriers which include homelessness, mental illness, addictions, poverty, and involvement in the justice system.
VISU staff work with the clients to find and support them in housing, connect them with psychiatrists and care teams, work with them on any of their other goals, and assist with money management. We provide art and cooking groups which are always well attended. We also support our clients through their court processes.
Our clothing closet is looking bare right now. Any clothing donations would be greatly appreciated. It's a great way to clean out your closet! Sweaters, jackets, pants, t-shirts, socks (in decent shape), mitts, hats, baseball caps....
VISU clients are an amazing and colourful bunch. Despite their hardships in life, most of them have a great sense of humour, are talented, and are loving people. It is a pleasure working with them and no day is like the last.
Thanks guys. See you at the gym.
