Thanks to Cochrane Home Treasures, Cochrane FCSS can continue to support low-income individuals and families facing a crisis through its instrumental needs program.
"It's huge," says FCSS manager Kim Krawec. "Without Home Treasures, we actually wouldn't be able to provide the instrumental needs program at all, and it has an amazing impact for our residents."
If people are facing struggles and challenges she encourages people to reach to FCSS to make an appointment with a support worker.
"We can try to make sure that we support them the best as we can and can link them to the different supports and services available to help support them and their families."
