The Miracle Bucket Society is a local, registered and incorporated “non-profit society” which began in the North Okanagan in 2011. Their mission is to give families in crisis a sense of hope – to let them know that they are valued and that someone believes in them. Our vision is to give a hand up for families experiencing socio-economic and/or health challenges in the community. These are families who fall between the cracks and are not able to get assistance through other resources.

For over 40 years, JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) has been a global leader in the search for an end to type 1 diabetes (T1D), through both research funding and advocacy. We realize that we are engaged in a process of curing T1D – that a cure is not just a destination but also a journey along a path. And we recognize that a part of our mission must be to help those living with T1D today to live healthier, easier, and safer lives until we arrive at the end of that path.
