The need for assistance in our community is great and varied. Our society simply cannot meet all these needs alone. Below you will find a list of resources in the Penticton area that we’ve compiled that also offer assistance.

In addition to our resource list, the Penticton & Area Access Centre connects people in our community with the support, services and resources they need. They have a far more extensive and up-to-date list of community resources, including their widely distributed Little Red Book of Resources.

Also note that some telecommunication companies have hardship service plans to those who qualify (typically on social assistance).  For examples, try searching online for “Telus hardship assistance”. Substitute Rogers if you like.
