As the days get shorter and temperatures continue to fall, the Penticton Access Centre asking for donations to help those in need this holiday season.
Toiletries, menstrual products, winter accessories, and water are among the items the non-profit is asking for.
"Your donation, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in someone's quality of life and help restore their dignity," a press release from the Access Centre reads.

"We rely on the generosity of the community to help provide for those in need," its press release adds. "By donating, you can help keep those we serve safe and improve their overall well-being."
