“I am passionate about serving the vulnerable in the Vancouver community. The homeless, people with disabilities, the veteran with PTSD, and those living with mental illness. Anyone who is alone and seeking a place where they can find community, purpose and support. Friends of the Carpenter’s Friendship Center offers people the loving, accepting and nurturing community they need to realize their true value. We change lives with love,” shared Tod.
