The Light We Share - Fundraiser & community gathering
Each year, we bring handmade gift bags filled with baked goods, artisan items, and messages of care to over 100 vulnerable adults across Penticton. Every bag is hand-delivered on Christmas Day — a gesture of warmth, dignity, and belonging for those too often left out of the season’s joy.
This year’s gathering goes beyond the fundraiser. Through art, dialogue, and shared reflection, we’ll explore themes of poverty reduction, mental health, substance use, and kinship care. The event features local speakers, performing artists, and meaningful group prompts designed to inspire connection and community action.
Join us in tending the flame — come for the creativity, compassion, and collective care that make this season a light we truly share.
100% of the proceeds go towards the holiday drive & supporting probono wellness services.
