Local Impact
Learn more about the impact we’re making in the region.
Providing flood & fire relief
We rallied for our neighbours during a time of crisis, investing over $650K in Urgent Response funding to local communities affected by devastating fires and floods. We are committed to supporting the community-led rebuilding and recovery of these communities in the years to come.
Growing our impact
We scaled out United Way British Columbia programs by expanding the iVolunteer program into our area, launching new Regional Food Hub in Williams Lake and Clearwater, and adding Hi Neighbour initiatives in Lytton and Merritt. By launching Hi Neighbour for Recovery in Princeton, the Fraser Canyon, Merritt, and the Shuswap, we are engaging with local community organizations and residents in areas of BC that have been impacted by wildfires or floods to support ongoing recovery and resiliency work. Take a look at this incredible work here!
Listening to our community
We focused on our non-profit sector strengthening work by conducting workshops and undertaking research to better understand local community needs that will guide our ongoing work.
Investing in our community’s health
We continued to facilitate the Community Action Team in Kamloops (CAT) which includes representatives from government, first nations, health authorities, non-profit organizations, and concerned citizens. This informed group discusses the current overdose epidemic and creates actionable plans and awareness at the local level.
Expanding access to essential services
We distributed more than 8,700 bus tickets through our Emergency Transportation program in partnership with the City of Kamloops. This allows for barrier-free access to community service programs and resources.
