HELP PORTRAIT DTES VANCOUVER 2011

HELP PORTRAIT DTES VANCOUVER 2011
Help Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season. In brief, here are the details:
In unity we have created a dynamic environment to steward our artistic services to the low income single parent families & residents of the Down Town East Side of Vancouver. This has been made possible with support of other Not for Profit Organizations in the Down Town East Side Such as
The Nehemiah Arts Foundation Vancouver, Union Gospel Mission, The Salvation Army , Artisan Vancouver & the YWCA Vancouver.
You can check out our promo video here



This years Help Portrait event will take place on Saturday December the 3rd 2011 at the Union Gospel Mission ( UGM ) 601 East Hastings Street Vancouver, BC in the Down Town East Side where over 30 + local photographers will be shooting 300+ families/individuals on December 3rd with the help of our amazing volunteer team!
We will be providing onsite photo printing and also a postage station so the families are able to send the photos to their loved ones this holiday season at no cost to them. Each year we provide complimentary hair & makeup services & we will be offering these services again this year.We will also have live musical performances throughout the day both indoors & outdoors thanks to Artisan Vancouver & Nehemiah Records.

We also will be doing a clothing outreach with Clothes on Wheels during the event for families & individuals . Last year we also did a toy drive & will be setting one up again for this year so stay tuned for that as it was such a great addition last year.
