Relief Efforts for Lytton Fire Survivors

 We hold the communities of Lytton, Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc and Kamloops in our prayers.  We received this note from Rev Michael Caveney of Kamloops United Church, and give thanks for the response and presence Kamloops United Church offers, and pray for their leaders, staff and community.

Lots of people walking in off the street to talk about the Residential School/collecting bottled water to give out to those living on the streets…it was 46.5 degrees downtown one day/and now we are figuring out how we as a faith community should respond if major areas of Kamloops are evacuated. (Juniper Ridge being evacuated last week was a major wake up call). Thank goodness we have excellent staff. We have also been giving coupons to our Thrift Shop to families from Lytton.

(Canada Helps handles Kamloops United Church donations). Chose ‘5. General’ and  mark “Fire Relief” in the notes. Kamloops United Church will then purchase gift cards for food or fuel, to immediately help those in need. Thank you.
