The church of Kelowna is uniting to focus on two local projects in 2009:

1. Partnership with CASEY (Community Against Sexual Exploitation of Youth)
www.caseyonline.org

Casey is a grassroots community action team that promotes public education and awareness of the sexual exploitation of youth. They are volunteers who work as a liaison with youth-serving agencies and the RCMP to provide information to the community about recruitment into the sex trade, the realities and dangers of street life, and the options available to youth trying to get off the street.


2. Alexandra Gardner Women & Children Safe Centre Makeover
www.nowcanada.ca

The Safe Centre provides temporary housing to all women and their children who are homeless, regardless of age, race and circumstances.
The centre offers a warm, clean and safe environment while a team of staff provides 24-hour support, basic counselling and referrals to NOW Canada programs and other community services.
NOW Canada has just begun to address the Central Okanagan's need for safe housing for homeless women and children with this 20-bed facility.
