With the Okanagan being under a heat warning heading into the weekend, the 琉璃神社 Gospel Mission is looking to help those experiencing homelessness.

鈥�(KGM) is aware that high temperatures can be just as damaging and life-threatening as cold weather in 琉璃神社 for unsheltered neighbours,鈥� said Vanessa Hair, resource development manager.

The Gospel Mission is currently looking for volunteers to hand out supplies this weekend to those experiencing homelessness, like bottled water, sunscreen and umbrellas. Anyone wishing to donate supplies can do so at the mission鈥檚 location at 251 Leon Avenue.

Daytime temperatures in 琉璃神社 are expected to reach the high 30s throughout the weekend, in what Environment Canada calls an 鈥榰nusually hot period鈥�.
