Lil'Wat NATION YOUTH CENTRE

$15,400

HOT MEAL PROGRAM

Líl̓wat Nation has 2,275 members, approximately 1,490 of whom live in their community located 7km north of Pemberton. They are the third largest First Nation in British Columbia.

A key need right now is support for the Youth Centre programming – and the most important program is their hot meal program. The Youth Centre provides a safe space for young people after school and in the evening. They can come and drop in and spend time together, connect with staff, participate in activities, and have some time for themselves. The Youth Centre has a range of activities throughout the year including cultural activities with the Elders, Knowledge-Keepers and youth, planting and tending a garden and making pizza from the grown vegetables, and support for homework, training, and finding jobs.

The most recent expanded program is the daily hot meal program, served at 5pm every day. This program helps youth feel loved and cared for. Food security is a challenge for many in the community and providing a hot meal every day has been a positive way to care for them. The majority of youth who attend are male and as well as a healthy, hot meal, this program provides an incentive for them to come to the Centre where they build positive relationships with the skilled staff team. They are able to develop relationships that provide a safety net when they need it.

In a few short years, these youth will be leaders. By choosing to support the program we are providing funding to help feed and care for the youth at the Youth Centre for at least the next 12 months.
