About the Day of Service
This year, Vancouver Thetas are supporting YWCA Crabtree Corner by creating self-care kits for women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Crabtree Corner supports women experiencing homelessness, poverty, substance use, violence, health challenges and other barriers. Self-care kits provide essential personal-care items to women who come through their doors.
​
We'll spend the afternoon together assembling kits in the UBC Chapter Room with everyday essentials like dental-care products, deodorant, shampoo, menstrual products, socks and other personal-care items. The completed kits will be delivered to Crabtree Corner for distribution.
What Goes in a Self-Care Kit?
Every kit is packed with essentials to support daily well-being and personal hygiene:
- Dental care: Toothbrush & toothpaste
- Hygiene: Deodorant, soap, menstrual products
- Hair care: Shampoo & conditioner
- Comfort: New socks
- Essential care: Hand sanitizer & lotion
Can’t Join Us in Person?
You can still support the Day of Service by contributing toward the supplies we'll purchase for the self-care kits. Donations are completely optional and are a great way to participate if you can't make it to the event.
