"These funds that Access Credit Union provide to us help us cover some of those costs," said Reimer after the cheque presentation. "That makes it possible for donors, when they make donations to riders or they are personally involved, (it) allows the entire amount of the donations being given to Eden to be used fully and completely for the work that Eden Health Care Services does."
Eden Foundation is the fundraising arm of Winkler based Eden Health Care Services which specializes in the delivery of mental health and wellness programs and services.
"The reason we decided to make this donation today is because Eden Health Care Services provides such a wonderful wide range of services that so many people can use," said Chris Hildebrand Regional Manager Central for Access Credit Union. "What we've noticed is as the world gets smaller, our community gets bigger and it's not just about our direct area. It's about the region and the province, and so many people can use these services so we want to help them any way we can."
Reimer tells us the support means a lot to the organization.
"Mental health issues are usually dealt with by one in five people, so it's not as if it's a rare thing that happens within our community, it's very common," said Reimer. "Eden Health Care Services is there for that purpose, and Access Credit Union is a partner with us in helping to make that happen."
