5 days is a national campaign that takes place across 20 participating Universities. The mission of the campaign is to raise awareness about homelessness and to collect donations for a local charity. This year, on behalf of UVic Commerce Students' Society, we are raising money for Our Place Society.

Our Place Society has been operating in Victoria, BC for more than 50 years. The unique inner-city community center serves Greater Victoria's most vulnerable, the working poor, impoverished elderly, mentally and physically challenged, addicted, and the homeless. Our Place provides over 1,000 meals per day, plus 1,200 snacks, hot showers, education, job skills, health care, addiction recovery services, donated clothing, counselling, and outreach services, plus 45 transitional housing units and over 100 shelter spaces.
