Among the three organizations, the St. Thomas STEAM Centre received a donation of $20,000 to expand their student programs and education services.
Fresh Start Support Services will receive $28,000 to support the House of Homes project, which aims to provide individuals and families in need with safe, stable housing.
And, the St. Thomas Elevated Park is to get $10,000 to go toward tree planting and trail enhancements.
