Spring marks start of busy season for Kamloops social agency
KAMLOOPS — As the weather warms up in Kamloops, the homeless population increases with more people traveling through.
New Life Community Kamloops serves the homeless all year round, providing meals, a warm place to sleep, and dry clothing. But it’s in the spring that they see a surge in their client base, with an increase in the transient population.
“People probably don’t realize a lot of times that the spring, summer, fall are some of the busiest times for us, because as people are moving around, plus you have the locals that are here everyday, the ones that we recognize, so it always gets busier for us,” said Executive Director Stan Dueck.
