Freedom’s Door will get $50K increase from Rotary Membership of Kelowna – Kelowna Information

The Rotary Membership of Kelowna managed to lift greater than $100,000 at its newest Professional Am Golf Event at The Harvest Golf Course.

The cash raised will profit Freedom’s Door, a neighborhood group devoted to offering help and housing for folks in want.

Final week, through the Sponsor Appreciation Luncheon held at The Coast Capri Lodge, the Rotary Membership of Kelowna offered a $50,000 donation to Freedom’s Door.

Tom Smithwick, director for Freedom’s Door, took the stage to ship a heartfelt keynote speech, highlighting how the funds could be used.

“This $50,000 funding can be used for our Ethel Glen Home, a supportive housing facility for ten residents, each women and men, who stay with continual psychological well being challenges.”

The cash can be used to renovate their storage/carriage home, creating 4 extra bedrooms for girls in want.

“Right now, our neighborhood’s most urgent wants are with homelessness and psychological well being points,” famous Invoice Redmond, president of the Rotary Membership of Kelowna.

“In Rotary’s custom of caring for our neighborhood, we’re happy to have the ability to donate funds that can present more room and take care of these often-marginalized folks.”

The Ethel Glen Home, which supplies inexpensive housing in a caring and supportive setting, will now have the ability to provide enhanced lodging choices, wholesome meals, companionship, private help, and better neighborhood engagement. Residents, starting from their mid-30s to 70 years of age, usually grow to be long-term members of the Ethel Glen Home neighborhood.

The occasion was a hit because of the help of sponsors just like the Stober Group and REN Power.

“Since 2015, the Rotary Professional Am Golf Event has raised $1,362,000 for native charities,” says Rotary Membership of Kelowna previous president Lenetta Parry.
