The Eureka Support Society has been awarded a grant of $25,000 from the Comox Valley Community Foundation in support of its Kitchen Program.

This vital contribution will bolster Eureka鈥檚 efforts in providing rehabilitative programming, vocational training, and a nurturing environment for individuals facing serious and persistent mental health challenges in the Comox Valley.

For more than 30 years, the Eureka Support Society has been offering support for community members grappling with mental health issues. Central to its mission is the hot lunch program. Through this program, members prepare and serve meals five days a week, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose among participants.

鈥淭he Kitchen Program is more than just a meal service; it鈥檚 a catalyst for transformation,鈥� said Brennan Day, executive director of the Eureka Support Society. 鈥淭hanks to the unwavering support of the Comox Valley Community Foundation and other community partners, we can continue to empower our members on their journey to recovery and reintegration into the workforce.鈥�

The impact of the Kitchen Program helps many participants transition to gainful employment in the broader community. This tangible outcome underscores the effectiveness of Eureka鈥檚 approach and the importance of collaborative partnerships in driving positive change.

The grant from the CVCF comes at a pivotal moment for the Eureka Support Society, as it celebrates 32 years of service to the community. With this support, the Society is poised to further its impact and ensure the sustainability of its programs for years to come.
