Eden Mental Health Centre recently received a handcrafted donation to comfort those going through a difficult time.

Local resident Linda Funk presented an afghan to Brenda Solomon, the Nursing Coordinator for Eden. Funk explains the blanket was created together with her "Knit-Lit" group who regularly meet to crochet, knit and discuss literature. She notes the gift is the first contribution with more expected in the future.

Funk explains they chose to support Eden because of the positive impact the organization has had on the community.

Solomon says it's these types of acts of kindness that can make a big difference in people's recovery.
