This year, #BMackandKarly's Cold Weather Clothing Drive will be in support of Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society and Kelowna SHARE Society. If you have warm clothes in your closet that you don’t wear anymore, donate them to provide a simple, vital gift to those in need in our community.

Thanks to Tru Frozen Yogurt Bar and Kelowna's Gospel Mission, we were able to provide everyone with frozen yogurt and cookies for dessert! Thank you so much for donations UBC Okanagan Aboriginal Programs & Services!

Indigenous Harm Reduction is a process of integrating cultural knowledge and values into the strategies and services associated with the work of harm reduction. Indigenous knowledge systems are strongly connected to spirituality, holism, and the natural environment. Therefore a learning model reflecting animal teachings and values was struck to support sensitive conversations around addictions and harm reduction through an Indigenous lens....

We need some individuals to help sort and count clothing, as well as a few extra people with vehicles to pick up the donations from various drop-off locations.
