Dear Editor:
As president of the B.C. Schizophrenia Society Penticton Branch, I attended the opening of the Summerland Food Bank Resource Centre at the United Church on Tuesday May 28.
This is a perfect example of how community collaborations are essential to our well-being.
Since January 2010, our Family Support Worker has been in Summerland on Tuesday mornings thanks to the generosity of the Ministry of Children and Families staff who provided their board room.
We are pleased to be invited to the Resource Centre on Tuesday mornings (except the second Tuesday of each month) 10 a.m. to noon to provide both family education and support and peer support for persons who have a mental illness. Please drop in or call 250-493-7338 for an appointment.
