Okanagan Falls United Church (The Blasted Church) was extremely fortunate to benefit from this day of giving from Interior Savings Credit Union in Okanagan Falls.

On Thursday October 20 the Interior Savings was closed at 2 PM and all of the generous employees came out to beautify the church grounds of Okanagan Falls United Church at 1108 Willow Street in Okanagan Falls.  Seven Employees devoted their time and labour for the beautification of our lovely little Blasted Church by cleaning up the two gardens along walkway leading into the Blasted Church.

Several other kind, community-minded residents also came out to hoe, dig, plant, rake and otherwise transform the walkway garden leading to front door of the Sanctuary.

We have been blessed with this community and our heartfelt Thanks to all who helped.

The finished product.  Thanks again to all who helped.
