Red Deer & District Community Foundation

We continue to be moved by the dedication of our partners Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation as they continue the conversation around mental health. Also, thank you to Andrea Hawiuk who initiated this conversation within her community. Here you can listen to Rick More, Lindsey's father, speaking at the virtual conference. https://ckfm.ca///the-conversation-has-to-happen-on-ckfm/

We continue to be amazed by the compassion found in our community. Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, RDDCF saw a significant increase in the need for mental health support funding within central Alberta. Thank you to the 2020 Blue & White Safe Grad committee for supporting Smiles Thru Lindsey, which is committed to providing mental health resources in our district now, and forever.
