There will be hot chocolate, coffee as well as clothing and other necessities for people in need at the Dec. 10 afternoon event at L鈥檃mour de soi on Douglas Crescent in 91原创 City.

The first 鈥淲e鈥檙e Here To Help鈥� was organized by the 91原创 resident on Dec. 10 of last year on Hastings Street in Vancouver, and provided food, clothing and other necessities for about 200 people.

Anyone interested in contributing is invited to email the foundation at infiniteexpansion@shaw.ca.
