Meet Our Donors

Thank You to our donors and supporters

We are blessed to live and to operate our Society in the generous, caring and committed communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, and Okanagan Falls. We express our profound gratitude to the sponsors and donors who collaborate with us so that we can provide critical services to those in need in our communities.

Our work is only possible due to the ongoing support of individuals, clubs, businesses, and organizations. Thank You does not start to express our appreciation to our supporters.
