Sponsor A Downtown Eastside Radical Hostess

This is for those who are interested in our hostess program.

As you know, the residents of the Downtown Eastside have been greatly affected by the Olympic presence in our city. In an effort to give purpose and a sense of excitement about the Olympics we have created a hostess program, where our friends have an opportunity to be trained as a Super Host. Each woman who attends the training will be given assignments during the Olympics and act as ambassadors in their community. The training includes general super host lessons, rapid response to crisis, history of area and a knowledge of resources and points of interest in the community. Our plan is to reward the women who finish their training and carry out their responsibilities during the Olympics with honorariums. Each hostess will also receive a uniform and meals during their time as hostess.

The cost to sponsor a hostess is $300 CDN, which includes uniforms, training, meals during the Olympics and honorariums to those who complete their assignment. If you have already agreed to be a sponsor or wish to become one please send a cheque to Linwood House Ministries, or you can donate online.

Please leave a comment with any questions and we will be sure to get back to you.
