📣Tonight: What We Have to Give 🕕 7:00 PM
Wow, our city and communities have shown up in a huge way this week. Thank you all so much! Since we made the decision to adjust our event, we've seen many organizations create evening drop-offs for donations, and we've seen first hand the volume of items already coming in. If you're feeling the emotional toll of existing in a state of crisis right now, you're not alone.
Please take care of yourselves too. Drink some water, get some real rest when you can. You matter in this just as much as everyone you're helping.
Tonight is still happening, and if you haven't registered, come anyway, the door's open. Because so many people have already stepped up, you don't need to bring anything. Come as you are. If you'd still like to bring something, here's a small list of what's still in high demand:
Deodorant/Anti-perspirant
Non-perishable snacks (e.g. granola bars)
Sports drinks (Gatorade)
Paper towel
Toilet paper
But truly, showing up is the whole point. Come sit down, have a tea or coffee and a cookie, and take a moment with your neighbours.
We'll also have a table with craft materials for anyone who wants to make a thank you card for the first responders who've been working around the clock on this fire. Sometimes the smallest things carry the most.
📍 Penticton Seniors' Drop-In Centre Society, Ken Wignes Room 🕕 Thursday, August 13 @ 7:00 PM
We hope to see you tonight.
With gratitude, Penticton Together
