About this organization
In 1996, Agape Street Ministries, a Catholic Christian Street Outreach Ministry began reaching out to women involved in prostitution in the downtown eastside area of Hastings and Cordova in Vancouver. Since that time, we have responded to the call for a second location and expanded into the Whalley/City Centre neighborhood of Surrey as well as a third location in Chilliwack. Dedicated Agape volunteers, wearing their red jackets are often referred to as the Candy People by the women. The volunteers give over 43,000 candy bags a year, each with the message of Gods love for them. In addition, birthday bags are provided to the women as well as small gift bags at Christmas that include basic personal items. A weekly breakfast and ministry is provided to over 30-40 women at our Vancouver location.
