WHAT WE DO
Nestara elevates community wellness in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
We take an innovative approach to community services, creating safe spaces for all Vancouverites. Through initiatives like 'Block Party Sundays' in Pigeon Park, we create safe, welcoming spaces where our community can enjoy hot meals, live music, and access to vital resources, while fostering connection, dignity, and self-worth.

Simultaneously, our efforts promote safety, belongingness, cleanliness, and vibrancy in the neighborhood, benefiting local businesses and contributing to a thriving, unified community.
