Wishlist
It isn't hard at all to make a wish. The difficultly lies in how to make what you wish for a reality...
And that's where you come in! As a non-profit organization, the OSNS relies heavily on fundraising and community donations to help provide our centre with the essentials we need to operate.
We have an ever-growing list of things we need to improve or replace in order maintain our high-level of quality service to the children and families that visit our Centre.
Our Wishlist items vary in price from small low cost toys and equipment to larger projects that support specific programs in our centre, such as our new LINK program aimed towards youth in our South Okanagan communities.
We're grateful for any type of support in fulfilling our Wishlist - everything helps!
Special Project
Access For Success- Playground Upgrade
The current Kinder Bear 3-5-year-old playground space is in need of significant repair. The wood playground structure is extremely weathered and will need to be replaced and relocated. There are drainage issues, uneven spots and areas covered with grass that are difficult to maintain and causing mobility hazards for some children. Once completed, there will be artificial turf, blended with resilient surfaces that will offer fewer hazards to children with walkers and / or wheel chairs.
Wishful Thinking...
Sometimes making a difference is in the little things. Here are some items that would help us out a lot!
A few things we're wishing for:
-
A cordless leaf blower with a mulcher
-
A wagon for transporting bins/materials to and from vehicles. Collapsible if possible
-
Storage bins with lids, medium-sized
-
a hand-held vacuum
-
Book/ Toy store gift card / Amazon gift card for learning materials
-
A Yogibo bean bag, for sensory breaks, e.g., https://yogibo.ca/products/yogibo-max?variant=43090257182903
Do you have items listed above that you would like to donate to the OSNS? We are always in need of games, toys and outdoor equipment for children and youth - gently used items are always welcome!
