An Endowment Fund for the Children

The Edith Noble Children’s Fund helps provide programs that support children in our community. Our sincere thanks to the Noble Family, who gave $13,000 towards the fund in honour of Graham Noble, who recently passed away. 

 

Graham established the fund in honour of his mother Edith. As a founding member of the BC Interior Community Foundation (then the Kamloops Foundation), Graham has made wonderful contributions to our Community.

 

 

Restoring Mobility to a Senior in Need

What a wonderful present senior Kamloops resident Tina Cole received over the Holidays – as a mobility impaired senior, she was housebound after her previous mobility scooter died and was not able to be repaired.  Through the Kamloops Senior Citizens Housing Society Fund the BC Interior Community Foundation was able to provide Tina with a new scooter to help her get around.
