Community Connections for Youth, Woodstock

Ken West has provided leadership and community-minded direction to young people in Woodstock for many years. His group of middle and high school students have made glass ornaments to sell to benefit FHPC. The group tours the clinic and learns about the services and the patients they are helping. They begin making ornaments in August and see the production through to the boxing, labeling and distributing to vendors. In 2007 the group raised over $4,000.00 for clinic patients. In 2008, they raised $6,000.00 for the clinic. In all, Community Connections for Youth had raised $10,000 for FHPC!
