For the last two months, I have been working alongside a great local charity here in Vancouver named A Loving Spoonful. A Loving Spoonful is a volunteer-driven, non-partisan Society that provides free, nutritious meals to people living with HIV/AIDS in Greater Vancouver. Every week, all year round for over 19 years, our volunteers deliver approximately 1200 frozen meals and over 250 snack packs to men, women and children who are primarily homebound with AIDS. Our average meal cost is only $3.55. A Loving Spoonful is the constant support of over 250 adults and children living with HIV/AIDS throughout the Greater Vancouver area.

Starting in December, I had the privilege of meeting about 25 little rascals from Strathcona Elementary School who would help make up the bulk of a very ambitious project – a flash mob in downtown Vancouver’s shopping mall, Pacific Centre and at the food court during the lunch rush. Working with the kids twice a week on choreography and dance moves, we built a dance that had them both excited and singing along to Erika Jayne’s “Party People“. With the help of a few my own dance friends, we pulled off an extremely fun flash mob all to support a great cause – Candygram.ca.

Candygram.ca is A Loving Spoonful’s annual Valentine’s Day charity drive. A CandyGram is a Valentine’s card with one of over 150 creative stock messages, separated equally between three categories of “Like” (Friendship), “Love” (Partner), or “Lust” (Romantic Interest). The Candygram includes: A special edition card, your unique message, 2 delicious Purdy’s chocolates, a Yelpstick lip balm and Shamin Jewelers ‘Perfect Kiss’ mints and $15 Gift Card. (Value $25). CandyGrams can be sent to husbands, wives, friends, brothers, sisters, co-workers, teachers, boyfriends, girlfriends, lovers, etcetera – the list and possibilities truly are endless. CandyGrams also have no geographic boundaries and can be mailed anywhere in Canada! You can start your order here. Now check out our little flash mob below.
