Help #bringbackdinner for Kelowna's most vulnerable

It was a distressing milestone in the institution's 48-year history.

For the first time, Kelowna's Gospel Mission had to turn away individuals seeking food, a dire consequence of the rising demand amidst ongoing socio-economic challenges.

KGM was forced to cap its meal services at 150 servings.

The limitation has led to the reduction of meals to just two a day, significantly impacting those who rely on these essential services.

"But despite these unprecedented challenges, we won't - let our community go hungry," executive director Carmen Rempel said.

However, achieving this monumental task requires more than KGM's resolve; it requires the collective effort of the community through sustained support.

Launching the #bringbackdinner campaign, Rempel said the initiative is not merely about ensuring that everyone has access to meals

"It's about giving hope and strength to those who need it the most in our community," she said. "Consider this - how can someone even begin to contemplate filling out a form for help when they are hungry and scouring for food?"
