Our Impact

Testimonials

"When I had nowhere to go, the outreach team met me where I was at and showed no judgment, just support. They helped me get food, clothing, and apply for housing. For the first time in a long time, I felt seen."

Outreach

"As an Elder, it's not just about support, it's about connection. The KFS Elders program gave me a place to belong, to share stories, and to be part of a community that respects and uplifts one another."

Elder Services

"KFS supported my family when we were going through a really hard time. The programs helped us stay connected, and the staff made sure we felt safe, heard, and never alone."

Family Services

"As a non-Indigenous person, attending KFS events has been incredibly meaningful. I've learned so much about local culture, history, and the strength of the community. Each gathering is a powerful reminder of the importance of showing up, listening, and continuing to learn in a good way."

Events

"The KFS outreach workers treated me with respect and kindness. They didn’t just give me resources, they walked alongside me until I felt strong enough to take the next step."

Outreach

"I grew up away from my culture. Through KFS, I was able to attend ceremony for the first time and learn from Elders. I finally feel grounded in who I am and where I come from."
