Christmas Cheer Campaign How you can help

Donations to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund can be made online. Go to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the festive penguin to be taken to an online portal. An email address is required.

Donations can also be made at the KTW office, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., Mondays to Fridays between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Donations can also be dropped off at the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo at 177 Victoria St. Online donations greater than $10 receive a tax receipt via email; cash and cheque donations won’t generate a receipt until January.

Who you are helping • New Life Community Kamloops expanded its meal program and resource centre hours this year, opening daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. It also added another full-time outreach worker to help it provide a safe and welcoming environment and meet with people to help identify and then meet their needs.

New Life will serve more than 45,000 meals this year. Last year, for the first time, it was open on Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, providing meals, snacks, entertainment and warmth.

Money from the Christmas Cheer Fund will help it continue providing that access.

• The Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre helps people who have experienced trauma overcome and move forward. Its clients come from all walks of life and the violence can be sexual, battering or criminal-harassing.

They come from all age groups, from children to seniors.

The centre said it will use Christmas Cheer funds for toys and supplies to be used in therapy sessions with children.

Funds will also be used to provide snacks and meals to children and youth clients who often attend appointments malnourished.

Funds will also be used to expand its outreach services to meet with people in locations where they might be more comfortable than they might be at the downtown centre, and to help with transportation costs for clients who have no transportation, cannot afford it or have mobility issues.

• The Family Tree Family Centre works with families living in isolation, feeling judged and not connected to their community.

KTW publisher Kelly Hall adds more colour to last year’s Cheer Fund tracker. The community donated almost $50,000 in 2014. The Family Tree Family Centre is one of this year’s donation recipients.

From page 5

Many are living in poverty, experiencing violence and have mental-health or addiction issues.

Through a daily drop-in program, families can access social and professional support, educational workshops, case management, advocacy, a healthy lunch, a child-development consultant, referrals and access to its large donation room.

Money from the Christmas Cheer Fund will help it expand those programs.

• Sensational Soups is run out of Mt. Paul United Church, a program created by several retired Kamloopsians who volunteer to provide healthy lunches in a safe environment every Tuesday and Thursday.

LAMPLIGHTER AMPLIGHTER MOTEL OTEL

It is completely reliant on donations and the two-dozen volunteers have often used their own money to finance it.

Until September, the program received non-perishable and canned items from FoodShare to supplement the ingredients it uses to prepare soups, sandwiches, coffee, tea and juice.

Christmas Cheer Fund money will go toward buying food or equipment that might be needed in the kitchen.

• The Y Women’s Shelter provides shelter to women and children fleeing violence. Every year, several hundred of them will come to the shelter and several hundred more will receive non-residential care and counselling. Last year, for example, 173 children lived in the shelter for a period of time.
