<div>Help restore and re-open 109 East Hastings for community / cultural services in the Downtown Eastside &lt;3
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>109 East Hastings, site of the former<em> Smilin Buddha Cabaret 1952-1990, SBC 2013-2019 - and now Buddha's - </em>was damaged Aug 19th 2023 when a fire set in the alley/dumpster spread to the building. The space provided a platform for thousands of musicians, visual artists, workshops, and storage for outdoor community services &amp; events.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It was put out thanks to Vancouver Fire Departments quick action &amp; the open room - but the smoke damaged everything inside, and sets the project back year(s) without support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The money raised so far has seriously helped move forward with cleanup/fire remediation, instead of walking away from this important project, leaving the site at risk of demolition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reaching $10-20K will help offset the massive costs associated with further renovations and remodelling.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are advocating for the property to be put under community-led ownership, allowing for a full restoration and responsible operation long term.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Huge thanks to everyone who support this community initiative!
