The Kinsmen Club of Ladner Tsawwassen presented Reach Child and Youth Development Society earlier this month with a donation of $3,000 to support the society's therapies programs as well as the Building for Children Together capital project.
The Kinsmen are in partnership with Reach in the capital building project that will see a new centre located at the current site of the Kin House.
Since 2006, the Kinsmen have donated close to $15,000 to Reach for various projects, including therapies programs, and Reach's toy and book lending libraries.
Last year the club lent its support with volunteers at Reach's Rockin' for Reach and Reach for the Stars fundraising events.
To date, $1.3 million of the $4 million goal has been raised for the building project through charitable donations from businesses, individuals and service groups in the community. The centre will be the new location for Reach programs and services, and include therapy and meeting rooms, Reach's inclusive preschool, and an outdoor accessible playground for the whole community, as well as a meeting centre for the Kinsmen and
an expanded community events room with kitchen.
The centre will be larger than Reach's current facility enabling expanded programs and allowing Reach to serve more children and youth with special needs.
Reach and The Kinsmen Club are asking for support from the community this holiday season through donations. To help, they have developed Reach pledge pages where people can post stories and photos and appeal to friends and family to donate.
