We are working to help provide basic educational needs for newly landed Ukrainian Children. Our hopes are in the future to help support a community centre for learning.
We are also working to help with basic medical needs and necessities. Diapers, access to doctors etc.
We are helping the local Ukrainian community connect with one another and also facilitate connectivity to work opportunities, new friendships and local culture.
We started with a Christmas toy drive in December 2022 which raised over $10,000.00 in gifts and gift cards for children and youth.
We then hosted an event at our beautiful Kelowna Yacht Club in March 2023 which raised over $45,000.00 for families to buy essential items.
We are excited about our upcoming event on the 24th of September in Stuart Park and Water Street, Kelowna, 10am - 6pm. All funds will be used to support programs and camps for children and youth. This event is supported by 'East meets West'. We hope to see you at this important fundraiser.
