Vancouver, B.C. November 26, 2018: Global Inspired Volunteer (GIV) Society is set to host their signature “Holiday GIVing” event for the second year at the Woodward’s Atrium in the Downtown, Eastside area of Vancouver. By partnering with numerous local restaurants and businesses to provide dinner, entertainment foot ware and warm winter clothing for those less fortunate, the event aims to raise awareness of the increasing rate of homelessness in the lower mainland.

GIV Society, launched by Karim Allibhai is a volunteer event management team that supports non-profit organisations and communities in achieving their social goals. Since its emergence in June 2017, GIV has directly impacted over 35,000 community members and has provided meals to over 2,800 to those in need. GIV is more than a charity-centric organisation. It has been developed as a disruptive social platform leveraging win win win strategy, social media and traditional media enabling an eco-system through collaboration between non-profit organisations, communities and corporations. GIV has built partnerships with numerous established organisations such as Rotary Club, Deloitte, Superstore, Starbucks, Glowbal Restaurant Group, Shark Club and White Spot, Westbank Corp to list a few. GIV has supported organisations such as UBC Block Chain, CARP Richmond Chapter, Shakti Society, BC Buddhist Festival, BC India Business Network Diwali Gala and many more!.

After successfully hosting “Holiday GIVing” in 2017 which resulted in hot pancake breakfast, warm winter jackets and brand-new shoes for over 500 guests, Allibhai is determined to set GIV’s sights higher this year by doubling the amount of meals and winter necessities for attendees. “Last year’s turn out exceeded our expectations. GIV is very fortunate to have the support of Westbank Corp, who has so generously provided us the space to make Holiday GIVing memorable”, Allibhai expressed. Undoubtedly, Holiday GIVing would not be complete without their dedicated team of volunteers, as Allibhai also stated that “they are the most precious resource in building a prosperous civil society.”

With community members and corporations coming together to make a difference in our society, GIV hopes that it can inspire others to join them for future collaborations and be a part of achieving their vision to “GIVe Local and Inspire Global.” More information on GIV Society and their upcoming events can be found on their website www.givsociety.org
