The United Way Elgin Middlesex has funding to give thanks to a federal government program with their national branch and Canadian Red Cross.
President & CEO of UWEM Kelly Ziegner says applications were launched earlier last week.
It’s an open application process meaning you don’t have to have a previous relationship with the United Way in order to receive funding.
Ziegner says they’ve heard from local organizations across the board about unprecedented demands for services, and this funding couldn’t come at a better time.
Agencies can receive a donation of up to $100,000 and funding applications are being accepted by United Way Elgin Middlesex from local frontline social service agencies from May 19 to June 12, 2020. Funds will be disbursed by July 31.
