Kelowna is a designated landing spot for refugees from Africa .
As they begin their lives with us, some folks can use our help - especially in the area of food security.
Although the Kelowna Food Bank and other organizations are well-engaged, more assistance is needed.
Please consider designating your Sunday contributions by noting "African Refugee Assistance" on your offering envelopes.
Gift cards for supermarkets will be purchased and distributed, making a difference to
Kelowna families-in-need.
There are currently three separate refugee families that we know of who will be needing towels, bedding, blankets, household items, etc.
If you have items to donate, they can be put under the mitten tree.
Please talk to Helga S. for more information.
Thank you for your generous contributions!
Non-perishable food items can be placed on the shelf in the narthex.
The food is appreciated by people who come by the church on a monthly basis.
Donations can also be made on the COFB website, and are always welcome.
Come join this fun group of people who Share-Learn-Grow their photography.
