A Downtown Eastside charitable society is feeding and supporting hundreds of vulnerable people during the pandemic, and it’s looking for help to continue their important work in the community.
Whole Way House, founded by siblings Josh and Jenny Konkin along with Josh’s wife Mary in 2013, serves vulnerable seniors and veterans who are facing marginalization, disabilities, addiction issues, and/or mental health issues.

The society also carries on their family’s legacy. Whole Way House is located on the ground floor of the Avalon Hotel, a single room occupancy building that houses approximately 85 low-income tenants in the DTES today.
