A Door To Everything Society came together the summer of 2016
considering the questions, “How can we help? What can we do to help?”

Homelessness & addiction – the fentanyl crisis – were the issues
that surfaced again & again, meeting after meeting.

In November 2017, we discovered John Volken Academy,
a therapeutic recovery community for young people ages 18 – 32,
& began collaborating, raising awareness about this amazing facility.

Since the Fall of 2018, Kathleen has been volunteering
with the women there & as, A Door To Everything Society,
we organized “Spa Days” – hair cuts and manicures,
several visits to Wisteria Acres therapeutic horses,
even Theatre Under the Stars in Stanley Park.

In the Spring of 2020 & ongoing during the pandemic,
face masks were sewn & donated.
For every three sold
one was donated to someone in need.

Since August 2022,
Kathleen has been volunteering at WISH Foundation
in the DTES doing readings.

In November, 2022, our dear friend & board member,
Kim with her cutest dog, Beauty, decided to move on
with their extraordinary talents to other adventures.
We wish them the best in all their endeavours.

Now, as we come into spring of 2025
ADTE is considering new avenues of service.

Stay tuned. . .
