FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – The Site C G.O. Fund has given $6,800 to the Northern Sun Helpers Society to assist those living with or suffering from addictions.
The Northern Sun Helpers Society will use the grant to run a weekly lunch program for individuals and families in Fort St. John who are suffering from addiction or living with those suffering from addiction.
The lunch program provides free meals to individuals who are in need every Sunday.
Pamela Romanow with the Northern Sun Helpers Society says they have served over 1,115 lunches in the past six months, and this grant will provide funding for another six months.
To date, 56 grants have received $494,000 from the $800,000 fund, which was established in September 2016 to support non-profit organizations in the north and south Peace Region throughout Site C’s construction.
