September is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Month and the 9th is International FASD Awareness Day.

Together, we can prevent FASD. Raise awareness everyday. Tell everyone you know: there is no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy.
We're thrilled to be the charity of choice for Fuel Good Day 2020! On September 15, fuel up at any participating Co-op Gas Bar in Prince George and $0.10 per litre will be given back to our organization for those in need. Head inside for store specials that will also give us $1 back.

Funds raised will be used by SOURCES to improve the quality and accessibility of services for children, youth and families.
The third annual Canadian Walk for Veterans is taking place on September 26th and 27th. Coast to coast, Canadians will walk virtually shoulder to shoulder to say "thank you!" to those who choose to give of themselves when times get hard. To the military, veterans, first responders, civil servants and every essential worker across the country, this year's walk is for you.
