New Life sees changing face of poverty in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — The Executive Director of New Life Community Kamloops says the face of poverty is definitely changing in the city.
Stan Dueck says more and more people coming through the agency’s doors have serious drug problems.
“When I talk to people who have been around for a long time, I think early on we dealt with a lot of alcoholism, poverty, homelessness. Today we see a whole lot of addiction to drugs, hard drugs,” explained Dueck.
