Volunteers raise money for Teen Junction

Dec 19, 2020 | 12:00 PM

The Teen Junction in Vernon has received some extra funding, thanks to some valuable volunteers in the Vernon area.

Vernon Crime Prevention Coordinator, Regan Borisenko, and the Vernon RCMP volunteers raised $600 at their annual appreciation evening auction held via Zoom.

“The Vernon RCMP volunteers are Vernon residents who actively engage in operations and initiatives that assist the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP with keeping our communities safe. In addition to volunteering a significant amount of personal time, each year they use the proceeds from this auction to support local charities to help bring a little more joy to the holidays,” said Borisenko.

This year’s funds were directed to the Vernon Teen Junction program to help with their holiday funding for youth in Vernon.

Sara Isaac, who accepted the funding on behalf of Teen Junction, says the extra money, at this time of year, makes a big difference in their ability to help youth who are less fortunate.

“The Vernon North Okanagan fully supports the good work our volunteers do and of course helping out our youth in Vernon.” stated Constable David Brovold, School Resource Officer for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP. We are very proud of our Volunteers and their commitment to our citizens.”
