THE GENERAL STORE IS OPEN - For now :) Call 250 746-8982 to be sure. Help Us Help More PeopleWe're continuing our until the end of February and once again asking for your generous, needed and appreciated contribution to the work of our therapeutic community. For 38 years we've provided day programs for vulnerable people in the valley. We help people with developmental needs, mental health issues and brain injuries. We run programs in woodworking, nutrition, textiles, art, gardening and more to help these folks create meaningful lives within a community who care about each other. We provide meaningful work on a profoundly beautiful farm, a place to feel included and a place which helps people realize their potential. You are a critical part of that. Please help us expand our programming to help more people. Your dollars help us keep our mission alive. The Valley has people who are struggling with mental health issues and or developmental challenges who could use help from the farm, but who are not connected to our regular referral channels.
We want to expand our current programs to help as many of these folks as we can. Providence Farm can be a bridge to a better life, but we need your help to open our farm to more people in need. That's our goal this year Help Us Help More People. Last year's campaign raised $44,900. This year with your help we can do more than match that and help make a profound difference in more lives in 2017. Please help our community maintain the smiles by contributing today.
