We have a vision for a community in which all members are Supported and Connected. To support this vision, we are working towards a Community Resource Centre, a staffed centre that acts foremost, among many other possibilities, as a point-of-contact for community members, vulnerable or otherwise. The center would connect people to other resources available to them in the community and help coordinate various social programs.
Most small and large communities have a resource center. Spallumcheen/Armstrong does not but we do have an increasingly vulnerable population. Community resource centres are typically funded by grants, fundraising and charitable donations although we have faith that our local governments will also support this initiative in whatever ways they can.
