JoeAnna's House Impact Report

Your donations at work. Helping families when they need it most.

Over the last five years, JoeAnna’s house has been a ‘home away from home’ for thousands of families, all thanks to your generosity. Time and time again, our guests express their profound gratitude and amazement that our community has made this resource possible and ready to help during their most challenging moments. The impact of your compassion extends far beyond our walls, touching nearby communities and reinforcing the message of how deeply you care for your out-of-town neighbours.

As Kelowna General Hospital (KGH) and the population of BC’s Interior continue to grow, so does the demand for JoeAnna’s House. The constant waitlist proves just how many BC families rely on this donor-funded home during their time of need.

Thank you for making this home, this level of support, and this neighbourly care available to so many.
