A network of nonprofit organizations in the Downtown Eastside committed to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring that it does not disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in the community. The DTES Response Fund benefits agencies who are supporting and connecting directly with people in the neighbourhood. Funding goes toward phones for communications, food, personal hygiene products, cleanings supplies, access to transportation, and other needs that emerge. Donations are being received by the Network of Inner City Community Services Society.
