Players from Burnaby help out less fortunate on Downtown Eastside

Members of the Mountain United FC under-17 and -18 girls' B.C.

Members of the Mountain United FC under-17 and -18 girls' B.C. Premier League soccer team shared in the spirit of the season this weekend by volunteering at the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre, helping to prepare Christmas dinner for 500 women and children.

The Downtown Eastside Women's centre hosts a Christmas dinner for women and children in the community every year. The team helped with food preparation and sorting of donations from the community. Many members of the team are fresh off a third-place finish at the u-16 girls' North American USL Super-Y League finals in Florida earlier this month.

The team includes players from the Sunshine Coast, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Vancouver, Surrey, Port Moody and Maple Ridge.
