St. Joseph grads raise money for Family Services of Central Alberta

May 9, 2019 | 11:32 AM

The St. Joseph High School grad class of 2019 has raised $9,000 through its annual grad service project.

This year, funds will support Family Services of Central Alberta, specifically programming around youth anxiety, and seniors with dementia.

“We are so excited to be raising awareness and support for Family Services of Central Alberta as their organization coincided with not only the issues-of-interest our students identified, it also aligned with our school’s faith journey,” says Ashley Visscher, project coordinator.

“Helping those most vulnerable in our community (the young and elderly) is something our students are very passionate about.”
