Canada Post has long been a cornerstone of the Upper Room Mission’s fundraising efforts, with nearly 40% of our donations arriving through the mail. As a charity dedicated to supporting individuals facing homelessness, addiction, and poverty in Vernon, the fall and winter months are critical to our ability to serve our community.

In fact, November and December alone account for nearly half of our annual revenue, providing the funds necessary to sustain our life-saving programs throughout the year. Any disruption to this vital fundraising season, such as delays in postal service, could significantly impact our ability to provide essential services in 2025.

With colder months ahead, the demand for our services has already surged, and we’re counting on your continued support to ensure no one in our community is left out in the cold.

How You Can Help

To adapt to the ongoing postal challenges, we’ve made it easier than ever to support the Upper Room Mission through alternative methods. Here are some fast and secure ways to give:

1. Online Donations: Visit our donation section to make a donation quickly and securely.
2. E-Transfers: Send your donation via e-transfer to administration@vernonurm.org.
3. In-Person Donations: Prefer to donate by cheque? You can hand-deliver it to us at 3403 27th Ave, Vernon, BC.

Every gift makes a difference, especially during this crucial season. Together, we can ensure that Vernon’s most vulnerable receive the care and support they need when it matters most.

Thank you for standing with us and helping to build a community rooted in hope, compassion, and love.
