💧 We Need Your Help, Vernon! 💧

As the weather warms up, many of the men and women are looking for something as simple—and essential—as a cold drink.

We are currently in need of donations of bottled water, juice boxes, sports drinks, and other ready-to-go beverages to hand out during our outreach evenings.

If you’re able to donate, it would make a huge difference in helping us keep people hydrated, safe, and cared for during the warmer months.

Every case helps 💙 Contact us to arrange pickup or drop off.

Thank you for supporting Hope Outreach Vernon and our community!
