City in Focus

City in Focus [CIF] believes that justice and social needs should be available to people—so it has increased its efforts to encourage philanthropy and social awareness in Vancouver. This non-profit’s work with the Vancouver area marketplace has naturally led to connections with organizations addressing the results of poverty. Over the years, these relationships have afforded CIF the ability to help meet the needs of individuals, non-profits, churches and other social providers through connections to resources. In addition, it annually distributes over a million dollars in directly-given philanthropic contributions. Most importantly, it connects those who have resources, finances, or time with those who are in need. CIF has a widespread chaplaincy as well, through which it work with University students, East Van residents and business community participants. Counseling those in need, and their families, is a primary concern.
