LSCSS extends a heartfelt thank you to Kim and Dennis Grassick, the Big Daddy's Hot Rod Round Up Charity Car Show, its sponsors, volunteers, participants, and supporting foundations for an incredible $47,000 donation supporting local programs and services.

This generous contribution will support women's counselling, legal services, the Starfish Pack Program, our Community Holiday Market, and the Neighbour-to-Neighbour Fund, which helps us respond to emergency and unfunded community needs. It will also support our new Men's Counselling Program, which provides support to men who have experienced violence, as well as those who have used violence and are working to build healthier relationships and prevent future harm.

A special thank you to Bev Cave of Baked by Bev, who designated $1,000 of the donation to the Starfish Pack Program.

Community support like this helps ensure individuals and families across the South Similkameen can access assistance, opportunities, and services when they need them most. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of this year's event.
