Eden Health Care Services is
a faith-based organization rooted in the Anabaptist Mennonite heritage. The
mission of Eden is to respond to the community by providing a range of services
that will empower persons with mental health needs. Funds raised will be receipted by Eden
Foundation and designated for the new Winnipeg Housing Initiative that is
scheduled for construction beginning this September. Funds in excess of the requirements for the
Winnipeg Housing Initiative will continue to be used in other Eden Housing
projects.
The Eden Winnipeg Housing Initiative is a joint
venture for a new 45 unit apartment building in Winnipeg that will provide safe
affordable homes for families and adults having difficulty finding housing;
including those with mental health issues. The building will be located on the existing Concordia Housing campus
on Molson Street; Eden Health Care Services will operate the facility and
funding of $11,102,588 has been secured from the Governments of Manitoba and
Canada. Crossing the Canyon for Mental Health will seek to make a
significant contribution toward Eden’s project fund commitment of $40,000.
Eden Health Care Services is
soliciting donations for this quality and affordable housing project. Providing
a safe home is essential to good mental health. For a charitable receipt, donations should be made out to Eden Foundation – Winnipeg Housing
Initiative.
