The South Okanagan Women in Need Society (SOWINS)most important fundraiser of the year is now underway at Rotary Park.
The Walk to End Abuse event begins at 10 a.m. at Rotary Park on Sunday. There will be morning coffee and donuts courtesy of Tim Hortons. The rain won’t deter the walk from going ahead.
Stories will be shared by SOWINS survivors. The walk begins at 11 a.m. The non-profit is hoping to raise $60,000 from the walk.
SOWINS offers a number of specialized programs that serve women, youth, children and families. Among those services includes a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelters and counselling services for youth and children to help break the cycle of violence. The funds raised on June 5 will help the SOWINS continue to provide these services. SOWINS is also looking to add housing in Oliver.
