Access Credit Union Renews Support for Eden Health Care Services

Chris Hildebrand, Earl Reimer, Joel Billing

Access Credit Union presented a cheque of $8,000 to Eden Foundation to support the work of Eden Health Care Services, on Wednesday June 10th.  The financial support of ACU is a very important factor in helping to make a number of Eden Foundation events a possibility. These funds are the 'seed money' around which the Foundation can build events around which the community can get involved.  Because of this support funds donated in support of the IronMan Golf Tournament, Visit the Villages Tractor Trek, Head for the Hills Cycling Event and Sharing Our Stories will all be going directly to the work of Eden Health Care Services.

The work of Eden Health Care Services that is being supported by these fund-raising events goes to support private counselling for people who would not otherwise be able to receive individualized help.  It also goes to support trainers in helping people prepare for and find work and return to the community as a valuable contributor to the community and it also goes to provide safe, affordable housing for those who would not otherwise be able to afford a decent place to live.

Access Credit Union values the partnership with Eden and understands the significance of good mental health within the workplace.  ACU is by its nature an organization created by the people and for the people of the communities they serve.  They have shown that communitment to the community by their involvement in many charities and events in the community and Eden Foundation represents one of those involvements.
