This week, our team had the privilege of working alongside the Divisional photography and Territorial Headquarters videography team to film a series of client stories. Capturing these moments is always a powerful reminder of why we do what we do — every story represents resilience, hope, and the impact of community support.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such a talented team and to share the voices of those whose experiences shape our mission. These stories help us honour the individuals we serve and highlight the meaningful work happening across our organization.

We look forward to sharing the final videos and continuing to amplify the stories that inspire change and connection across our communities.

Join us as we take a look inside the new Vancouver Harbour Light!

Our team recently toured the construction site and saw firsthand how this incredible project is coming together. From spaces designed for meals and community, to supportive housing, program rooms, and a dedicated women’s treatment program, every detail is being built with care.

The Salvation Army Vancouver Harbour Light will be more than a building, it will be a place of dignity, support and hope for those who need it most in the Downtown Eastside.
