Football players offer support

On Saturday, June 18 members of the Okanagan Sun Football Club and representatives of the Kiwanis Club of Kelowna Summit offered their time and energy doing yard work for the Kelowna Women's Shelter.




Team members and coach Mike Botterill spent the morning doing some serious weeding and now our yard looks better than ever!

Sadly, every year a number of professional athletes make headlines for domestic violence. It's wonderful to know the young men in our community are instead dedicating their time to being positive role models and supporting women in need. 

Thank you for setting such a great example!

As always, we are very grateful for your hard work and support. Thanks, Kiwanis and Okanagan Sun.

Thanks BMO for your Day of Caring!



On Tuesday, an enthusiastic team of volunteers from BMO came to the Kelowna Women's Shelter for an afternoon of yard work.

The group did gardening, staining, sweeping, cleaning and various repairs around the shelter. It was all part of the Day of Caring campaign, sponsored by the United Way.

United Way Day of Caring is an agency-focused event that connects volunteers to local non-profit organizations and promotes volunteerism through community service.

Thank you again United Way and BMO! We really appreciate your support!
