Emergency Community Support Funding for Local Organizations

These past few months have definitely been hard ones, particularly for the most vulnerable in our communities. United Way Leeds & Grenville and Brockville and Area Community Foundation have done great work to provide support for local organizations in partnership with federal programs.

I was pleased to join Trish Buote and Erik Wang as they presented funding to The Brockville and Area Food Bank for Operation Harvest Sharing. Amanda Warner & Joanne Sytsma (co-chairs) and Tony Barnes (treasurer) received the cheque and also took time to update me on the needs of the community. Thank you!

RNJ Youth Services is a great local organization providing help to young people - so important at any time and particularly during this covid pandemic! I was honoured to join Sue Poldervaart (RNJ), Trish Buote (United Way Leeds & Grenville) and Erik Wang (Brockville and Area Community Foundation) as they presented funding through the federal Emergency Community Support program. Thanks for all you do for Brockville and area!
