Lequoya Elliott describes herself as “the behind the scenes person” in the community.
Since she was a young girl in 1992, she’s been going into Vancouver’s homeless camps, serving people hot meals and handing out supplies.
For many years, Elliott did that work as part of her mother’s nonprofit that used to operate in Vancouver, Hands that Help and Heal Foundation.
