Today's list of Kelowna businesses who have created positive community initiatives

During this uncertain time, it is paramount that as a community we stick together and help each other through thick and thin.

Using the #kelownastrong on our social platforms, we are bringing you stories and initiatives that radiate positivity in our community.

A local woman is making scrub caps for our frontline workers

Tess Perry started sewing scrub caps after she had asked a nurse friend how she could help.

The nurse mentioned that COVID-19 can live in the hair so they needed to protect their heads.

Tess had some leftover fabric so she made as many as she could manage until her fabric ran out.

Now she is waiting for fabric to be delivered and kind strangers have paid for 12 scrub caps in advance that she hasn't even made yet, these nurses just wanted to help.

Nurses have been reaching out to her on Instagram showing their appreciation

If anyone has fabric (100% cotton) that they want to donate they can reach out to Tess Perry on Instagram @scrunchymonkey and she will continue to do what she can while she is working full time.

She mostly wanted to share the kindness of other people who are reaching out to help each other and support our community and how wonderful it is!

Free beverages for hospital workers and on-duty first responders all week.

Third Space Cafe is offering free drip coffee and espresso-based drinks (Lattes, Cappuccinos and Americanos) to KGH Hospital Workers and on-duty First Responders all week.

Workers can simply text: (250) 470-7188 to place their order and pick up within minutes.

The cafe is also offering 25% off curbside pickup to the community through their new online store (www.ThirdSpaceCafe.online). Simply use the discount code ‘LandmarkLove’ upon checkout.

“We want to help maintain some normalcy and continue to be a place of hope in spite of this pandemic,” says Operations Manager, Lonni Van Diest. “That was why our cafe was founded in the beginning, and even though we can’t offer a physical space for people, we are doing our best to responsibly help our community get through this together.”
