Ben Postmus, executive director of Diverse Family Roots, accepts funding support from The Community Fund of North Kootenay Lake Society.
The North Kootenay Lake society develops and manages permanent endowment funds from which they make annual grants to local charitable organizations that provide support in communities of North Kootenay Lake.
“This $2,500 donation will go toward in-person and virtual support sessions for dads, as well as families groups,” Postmus explains. “The Dads Matter/Empowering Dads sessions reach over 100 fathers of children with disabilities.”
Diverse Family Roots Society is the only grassroots, parent/family-driven support network for families with children or family members with diverse abilities/disabilities that is based in the Kootenays.
The society has 15 volunteer family stewards throughout the Kootenays that are connecting families to resources, to other families, and to the community in which they live.
Everything the society provides is free to families.
