Kelowna’s homeless residents are facing a tough challenge as the summer heat continues to rise. In response, the city’s outreach team is stepping up to provide much-needed support and relief.
The outreach team, which is made up of dedicated individuals from various organizations, is accepting donations to help those who are experiencing homelessness during this heatwave. These donations will go towards providing essential items such as water, sunscreen, hats, and other cooling supplies.
According to the team, the extreme heat can be especially dangerous for those who do not have access to shelter or air conditioning. It can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other heat-related illnesses. This is why the outreach team is urging the community to come together and support their efforts.
Donations can be dropped off at the Kelowna Gospel Mission, the Salvation Army, and the John Howard Society. The team is also accepting monetary donations through their website, which will go towards purchasing supplies and providing additional support to those in need.
The outreach team has been working tirelessly to provide assistance to the homeless population in Kelowna, and their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Many community members have already stepped up to donate and show their support for this cause.
In addition to donations, the outreach team is also reminding everyone to check on their homeless neighbors and offer them water or a cool place to rest during these hot days. Small acts of kindness can go a long way in helping those who are struggling in the heat.
As the summer continues, the outreach team will continue to provide support and assistance to the homeless community in Kelowna. Their dedication and compassion are making a difference in the lives of those who are most vulnerable.
If you would like to support the outreach team’s efforts, please consider making a donation or reaching out to offer assistance to those in need. Together, we can make a positive impact and help our homeless residents stay safe and cool during this heatwave.
