A Kelowna-based app developer is hosting a COVID-friendly event in support of the community and Central Okanagan non-profits.
The Village App, developed by Kelowna mom Ashley Stone, is hosting Curb It, an event that gives Kelowna and West Kelowna residents a way to get rid of items they no longer need or want.
The items will then be picked up by neighbours who may need them. If you have leftover items from the event, The Village App香蕉视频直播檚 partners will take them.
To participate, download The Village App then on Sept. 18, use the app to broadcast to other users you have available items. Put those items out on the sidewalk with clear markings they are free to take.
Items will be out on curbs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. After the event, other Central Okanagan non-profits will take them, including Mamas for Mamas, Karis Support Society, SHARE Society, Hands in Service, The Bridge Youth and Family Services, Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Gospel Mission and NOW Canada.
The goal of the event is to get people out and meeting their neighbours in a safe way while also helping others they didn香蕉视频直播檛 know needed a hand.
The Village App offers its users a way to stay connected with each other, offering and receiving help when they need it.

Curb It is scheduled for Sept. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
