New management for Upper Room Mission
The new management team at Vernon’s Upper Room Mission has held a meeting with partners and stakeholders to discuss the social agency’s role in the community, and outline some new programs.
General Manager Naomi Rouck, Outreach Manager Jennifer Edwards and Chaplain Dave Bootsma met with community members from the Downtown Vernon Association, neighbouring seniors’ facilities, city bylaw officers and Mayor Victor Cumming on Thursday.
They stressed the importance of new programming that furthers the organization’s mandate to
further the organization’s dedication to supporting all who access the Mission.
“The Upper Room Mission is a place where everyone is welcome. We serve low-income families, seniors, and anyone in need of a meal or a sense of community,” Rouck said. “One of my main goals is to make sure that this place is safe for everyone that comes through our doors.”
