Keystone is a Child, Youth and Family Services agency that offers free counseling and prevention services throughout Grey and Bruce counties, an area the size of Prince Edward Island. We are a non-mandated agency that rarely has funding enhancements. Dollars donated go directly to service enhancements that would not otherwise be available. In the past, we have used donations to purchase program supplies, respite, clothing, food etc. It is difficult to benefit from counselling if the necessities are not covered. Many of our youth require additional supports so that they too can enjoy what we take for granted. Your contribution will make a difference for those children, youth and families that we serve.
