A significant donation was made from an anonymous donor towards a program for youth dealing with addiction.
Bridge Youth and Family Services says the $30,000 donation will support a Youth Recovery House right here in Kelowna.
"You can appreciate for people that have young people in our households in the throws of addiction, engaging in extraordinary behaviour, it's just heartwrenching, absolutely heartwrenching," Executive Director Celine Thompson said. "They just need a safe space."
Thompson says currently in BC, there are less than 50 publicly funded youth treatment beds and zero in the Okanagan.
