Vancouver Second Mile Society works together with seniors living in the downtown south and the downtown eastside to build and strengthen their community by developing a healthy community spirit that enables seniors to help themselves, and one another.
VSMS works to improve the lives of seniors living in SRA (Single Room Accommodation) units by establishing social support systems, run by the seniors themselves. The Seniors Centre is a drop-in facility that provides a safe, friendly living room environment for seniors coming together to dine (at a nominal fee), relax, play games, and access informational resources that are central to their quality of life.
