Patrick stopped by Family Services North Shore Community Hub at Capilano Mall (long-time NV Chamber member) for a tour of the space with Amy Lynn! It was eye-opening to learn more about their mental health services and the work they do collecting gently used clothing, food, and other basic essentials for families on the North Shore. For more information on ways to get involved, especially as we head into the holiday season, visit familyservices.bc.ca.
