Canadian Mental Health Association - South Cariboo (CMHA-SC) Community Bike Ride event raised close to $11,000, with the addition of some late donations.
CMHA-SC ride co-ordinator and spokesperson Valinda Boyd says she is very happy the ride raised enough funds to keep the non-government funded Soupe de Tour program operational.
She adds the ride went really well with all the support they received.
This will be a province-wide event next year, Boyd says, adding they are looking forward to continuing the ride in 100 Mile House.
The Soupe de Tour hot soup program is provided Mondays at the United Church from 12 to 1 p.m.; on Tuesdays at the 100 Mile and District Women's Centre at noon (women only); on Wednesdays at the Loaves & Fishes Outreach from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and on Fridays at the Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
