The funding will also supports Big Sisters, students in SD43's Teen Parent Program and Books for Babies.

Meanwhile, the topic of homelessness will be the agenda at the club's next general meeting.
Volunteers Joyce Lissimore and Doreen Carter will speak at Scott Creek middle school in Coquitlam on April 13 about the services provided to those in need at the Trinity United Church in Port Coquitlam.
The women pioneered the extreme weather shelter program at the church in 2003, with Carter kicking her addiction habit when she was introduced to the services.
The meeting at 7 p.m. is open to the public.
