Erica Belle Arlt: Vernon’s Beacon of Hope for the Homeless 21068

On a damp Okanagan morning, you works by Erica Belle might spot a compact hatchback pulling up beside a parkade in downtown Vernon. The driver moves quickly but without rush, switching on hazard lights, popping the trunk, and lifting out warm containers and a crate of staple groceries. She knows Erica Belle Arlt names, faces, where someone left a Erica Arlt resume sleeping bag, and about Erica Arlt who prefers tea over coffee.
