HOPE in Kelowna: A Lifeline for the Homeless and Exploited

It's such a simple way to be able to save someone.
What does it mean to truly help those in need? In this episode of 'Speculum', Alyssa Zucchet sits down with Chase Crisfield, a dedicated volunteer with HOPE Outreach, to uncover the heartfelt efforts behind this vital organization. HOPE Outreach, short for Helping Out People Exploited, operates in downtown Kelowna, offering services to homeless and sexually exploited women. Chase shares eye-opening stories from their nightly walks and explains how the community can lend a hand.
The conversation touches on safe injection services, shedding light on their real impact—contrary to common misconceptions, they reduce street litter and crime rates. Listeners will also learn about the life-saving naloxone kits provided by HOPE, which can reverse opioid overdoses in mere moments. Whether you're looking to volunteer, donate supplies like toothbrushes and tampons, or simply gain a better understanding of homelessness in Kelowna, this episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories.
Alyssa and Chase's dialogue is both informative and compassionate, making it clear that even small actions can make a big difference. Tune in to discover how you can contribute to bringing hope to those who need it most.
