It’s time for the return of Vancouver Lodge 90 folks to give us update on how their Winter Warming Center partnership with the City has evolved into a weekly Sunday morning breakfast serving over 150 people each week. Eric and Billy get their guests, PGM Walter Wells, PG Chris Thomson and Annie Lefebvre, to recap how the Winter Warming Center began and through what seemed like sufficient funding grew into the need fulfilling service they now provide.
