Impact is not just about the work we do, but also about the people who lead it.

KCR had the pleasure of hosting a special Nourishing Volunteer Managers lunch at Kelowna Community Theatre. While external impact has always been the focus, this event was about turning that energy inward to recognize and honor the leaders who are the backbone of our community.

A massive thank you to Nicole and the team for all the support and their hands-on help. It’s partnerships like these that allow us to keep fostering positive change in our community.
