Family Funds make a Difference

  

On May 7, Mitchell and Andrea Davy presented the Prince George Crisis Pregnancy Centre with a cheque for the proceeds from their family fund available for granting this year. With three small children of their own, Mitchell and Andrea wanted to identify a charity near and dear to their hearts and for this year selected the Crisis Pregnancy Centre. Alison Townrow explained the importance of making people aware of what their program offers in the way of assistance to expecting mothers and said the additional funding will be put toward various aspects of the program which for this year include furthering the knowledge of their programs through internet and revised brochures. They were most gratefully that the Davy Family selected them as their charity of choice this year.
