Northern BC Friends of Children accept $20k donation

PRINCE GEORGE – The Northern BC Friends of Children graciously accepted a $20k donation from PG Ford on Thursday to assist the efforts to provide services for families in need in Northern BC.

To date, the organization has helped 2500 families in need of financial support for accommodation, travel, food, and other medical expenses.

Friends of Children is a registered charity providing free and confidential service to Northern BC and East Kootenay families travelling to access medical treatments for their children.

Their goal is to relieve the emotional and financial strain by assisting with the fuel, accommodation and meal costs associated with these appointments, surgeries and consultations. The society may also be able to assist with therapies and specialized equipment related to a child’s medical condition.
