The Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support, known as Threads of Life, is a Canadian registered charity dedicated to supporting families after a workplace fatality, life-altering injury or occupational disease.

We are a registered charity that operates two programs: a Sunday Free Breakfast for the Homeless which operates year-round out, and an emergency cold weather Warming Centre in the winter months. Both projects operate out of the Odd Fellows' Hall at 1443 W 8th in Vancouver.

The Sunday Breakfast operates 9:30-11:30am every Sunday year round. The Warming Centre operates 9:30pm-8:30am on nights when the "feels like" temperature gets down to -4 or colder.

We welcome new applications for volunteers for both projects.

<b>Our main focus is to restore local community connections through<strong> creating art that is dedicated and donated to fellow humans in need of emotional support, especially elderly and children. Our goal is to spark a conversation, inspire  creativity, and ignite a meaningful interaction between people of all walks of life, rooted in love, kindness, and compassion. Art is a universal language with a much greater purpose than just being beautiful. When art is created with the intention to be for the good of others, it uplifts the spirit, builds bridges, and becomes an evolutionary tool with huge transformational power. </strong>
