EKFH campaign gets unexpected early Christmas gift
The East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) kicked off its 2020 Starlite Campaign November 1 in support of Foundry East Kootenay. Thank you to the generous donations of individuals and businesses the campaign has raised over $200,000 towards their $1.4 million goal.
Foundry East Kootenay will be a walk-in health and wellness centre for youth ages 12-24 seeking help, primarily for mental health and substance use. Services such as primary care, counselling, substance use and peer support will be brought together with social services that include employment and education resources under one roof. For youth there will be no waitlists. No having to repeat their story multiple times. They will access help the day they walk through the doors.
