Lloydminster & Vermilion for Equity- Street Team
We’ve identified gaps in our community where unhoused, vulnerable, and marginalized peoples require further front-line barrier-free support in obtaining critical needs, which include but are not limited to; food, water, personal hygiene products, advocacy support, clothing/outerwear, harm reduction, transportation, a trauma-informed environment, and culturally sensitive/appropriate access to service.
To help fill the identified gaps we’ve established LVE Street Team in the Summer of 2022. It started by simply providing water on hot summer days to the downtown unhoused population. Street Team has evolved quickly into a passionate volunteer group that provides a multitude of services to at-risk populations. We are dedicated to building healthy relationships with, advocating for, and providing barrier-free / judgment-free aid to the unhoused, vulnerable, and marginalized community members of Lloydminster and area.
