Northern BC Friends of Children Society is the legal name of our charitable organization, but we are known as Friends of Children, a vital support for Northern BC and East Kootenay children in medical need.  Medical emergencies can be overwhelming; we are here to provide non-medical help. Countless medical appointments can put an emotional and financial strain  on the family, we are here to assist with travel, accommodation and meal costs. Friends of Children may be able to assist with therapies, drug prescriptions and specialized equipment related to your child’s medical condition.
