Manager, Food Services, The Bloom Group - DTES, Vancouver


 This is a new organization for me - and I found this opening on another list I subscribe to.  From their website (www.thebloomgroup.org/about/overview/)

"The Bloom Group responds to the most urgent needs of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. We embrace transformative solutions for resolving pressing and complex challenges. We fill the gaps in areas that are critical to building a resilient community."

 Their operations are generally in the DownTown Eastside  and are non-profit organizations, working with women and children, mental health, supportive housing, hospice and affordable housing.  

Even if you aren't looking for a new position, it's an interesting journey to check out the website and see what our colleagues and others are doing.
