Six local groups are benefitting from $36,000 in grants from the Windsor-Essex Community Foundation (WECF).
The foundation said the money will fund projects that will have a big impact in our community.
"The WECF is happy to support these local organizations and the many successful programs they provide in Windsor & Essex County,” said Executive Director Lisa Kolody. “In addition to delivering much-needed funding, our Community Impact Grantsserve is an opportunity for us to build viable partnerships in our community that will bring out the best Windsor-Essex has to offer.”
The grants were given to the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission, Brentwood Charity House, the Canadian Mental Health Association of Windsor-Essex County, the Royal Canadian Legion Metropolitan Branch 594, the Southwestern Ontario Gleaners, and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.
The WECF added it is proud of its rich history of community building in Windsor-Essex, and looks positively toward the future as it continues to grow and inspire philanthropy.
