Welcome Bags
Our welcome bags are destined for people moving off the streets of Kelowna into supportive programs that enable them to take those important first steps. The bags will offer basic items for personal hygiene
and care as they get settled in. They will be distributed through New
Opportunities for Women and Willowbridge House (operated by the
CMHA) and will be given out throughout the year. The cost for a Welcome Bag is $25.00. Special donation envelopes are available at the back
of the church for your donations. All donations are tax deductible.
Thank you so much!
