Our Impact

At Kamloops Elizabeth Fry Society, we believe meaningful change begins with one person, one family, and one act of support at a time. Our work is rooted in compassion, second chances, and a commitment to breaking down systemic barriers. Together with our community, we’re building a safer, more equitable future for women, youth, and families.
