Happy Friday!
Our Intake Specialists are always bending over backwards to ensure our clients get the support and assistance they need. We thought we'd give them a shoutout for always doing it with a smile!

According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, the key to ending the load on the healthcare system is to invest early. Every $1 invested in the first few years of a low-income person’s life can save up to $9 in the future in health and criminal justice systems.
The social value created by CUPS comes from both benefits provided to our organization's beneficiaries, such as increased income, improved graduation rates, and improved health, as well as benefits to society in gene...ral, such as reduced social costs and increased tax revenue.
For every $1 you give to CUPS, $10 of social value is created.
