Nanaimo Child Development Centre is feeling the love of Coastal Community Credit Union.
Through its one-year ENRICH Project, CCCU and its employees are making a visible and meaningful difference in the community.
Employees work together in partnership with a local organization to help build a healthier community, and workers then vote on which projects they were passionate about supporting. The Child Development Centre was the winning organization, receiving $4,000.
“Our employees believe in the amazing work the Child Development Centre does to help children with developmental delays and their families to build on their strengths and develop new skills” said Allyson Prescesky, CCCU spokeswoman.
Michelle Kocourek, of the Child Development Centre, said therapeutic equipment purchased through the ENRICH Project allows children to obtain the therapy and support they need.
“The need for our services is great and our waitlist now stands at over 300 children, waiting an average of 12 months for some services,” she said.
