#EAFWR40Years: @allbriteglass have been so generous and supportive of us throughout the years. From their twice a year fundraisers to letting us dress up in the alligator costume, it’s always a blast when we are together!

Are you looking for COVID-19 resources and supports in Waterloo Region? Visit www.familycompasswr.ca for a running list of services and supports for children, youth and families.

#EAFWR40Years: Maria de Boer was the first family coordinator and paid employee @EAFWR. She had 14 families on her caseload when she started! Maria went on to become the Executive Director and worked tirelessly for 33 years until her retirement in 2017.

“If you had told me in 2002 that I would still be working for Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region (EAFWR) in 2021, I would not be surprised one bit. Being part of a movement that adopted a person-centered approach and saw the gifts in others, had a strong belief that inclusion needed to start at the community level, and was built on commitment to building relationships – this was a place I wanted to be.“

#ICYMI: Join our team as a MFTD Support Coordinator! If you've previously worked with children/individuals with medically complex needs and have an undergrad degree in human or social sciences, this may be for YOU.

#TuesdayTip: Catch up on @thekwcf’s Do More Good Dialogues about key topics affecting people in our community, including anti-racism and affordable housing: https://www.kwcf.ca/dialogues. Stay tuned for future conversations!

Job Opportunity: We're hiring a MFTD Support Coordinator!

#WednesdayWisdom: Like many of us, in March 2020, Christy had a well-established routine that included many of the activities she loved. When COVID appeared in our lives and community life as we knew it changed, Christy had to find a new routine.

#EAFWR40Years: As part of our 40th Anniversary, we want to hear about your favourite memories at @EAFWR! Whether you're a person or family supported, a current or past Direct Support Person, a community member or a staff member, we'd love to know what EAFWR means to you.
