Our Vision: A community where no person is homeless.
Our Mission: To respond to the needs of people experiencing homelessness in a welcoming, compassionate and mutually respectful manner by providing:
- emergency shelter and comfort to those in need.
- one-on-one support to the newly housed.
Our Values: We are a society that began in 1999 as an ecumenical group of volunteers dedicated to providing shelter during the coldest winter months to people experiencing homelessness in the community. Today, Inn from the Cold - Kelowna is a volunteer based society that operates as a registered charity that is responsible to the needs of people experiencing homelessness. We value:
- a welcoming environment where our guests are people first,
- compassion for our guests by delivering services that are inclusive, non-judgemental, and encouraging of our guests, and
- an atmosphere of mutual respect which incorporates the confidentiality, personal privacy and dignity of our guests, volunteers, and staff.
Our project runs with staff and the help of many volunteers, anything from setting up the shelter at night to reception, and bringing food. We also need advocates for the Inn-Home Support program. We are always in need of volunteers!
