"Where it’s needed the most."

When the Okanagan Mission Lions Club presented a incredible $2,000 donation to the Family Hub, the words, "Where it’s needed the most" stuck with us. They wanted to make sure their support went directly to whichever Family Hub program needs it most right now.

Behind every program at the Hub is a mother looking for connection, a young child taking their first social steps, or a parent seeking a bit of guidance during a difficult week. Heartfelt generosity like this ensures that no family in our community has to walk their journey alone.

Our hearts are so full—and our roots keep growing! Keep your eyes peeled, something wonderful is coming your way very soon. Heartwarming developments are just around the corner!

To the Okanagan Mission Lions Club: thank you for your compassionate heart and dedicated support.

And to our incredible community: your donations, volunteer hours, and shared words allow us to keep doing the vital work we do every day. If you’d like to join us in supporting local families, consider making a gift today

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to listen, learn, and remember.

We wear orange to honour the survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never made it home, and recognize the enduring strength of Indigenous families and communities. Reconciliation isn’t just a single day on the calendar—it’s an ongoing commitment to truth, understanding, and meaningful action every day. 🧡

Here at KCR Community Resources, we recognize that we have both learning and relationship-building to do with Indigenous peoples throughout colonial British Columbia, and we are committed to doing this with humility and curiosity. As an organization serving the social sector and striving to ensure all individuals and families are supported in leading healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives, we commit to dismantling harmful systems and ways of thinking.

We embrace the opportunity to learn from the Indigenous people who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. Aligning with our core values of Respect, Integrity, Inclusiveness, and Empowerment, we endeavour to not simply speak these words, but to take action through continued collaboration, relationship-building, and learning/unlearning.
