It’s being called a huge victory.

Kelowna’s Gospel Mission has announced its Christmas Match Campaign has reached the $216,000 goal.

“Three cheers for everyone who contributed to a successful Christmas campaign,” Mike Morrison, resource development director, said. “It is through a community coming together that we will move the needle on poverty in our city.”

Morrison said the mission goes above and beyond meeting basic needs of people experiencing homelessness by providing diverse programming that wraps hope around clients, especially during the Christmas season.

The 2022 match campaign will provide funds to operate various programs that serve people facing the challenges of homelessness.

“On behalf of the entire Kelowna’s Gospel Mission organization, we are beyond grateful for the donor’s contributions, and because of you, this $216,000 match will transform lives and bring hope back to our community,” Morrison added.

With that goal met, the organization has launched its regular Christmas giving campaign.
