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 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 to apply and learn more can visit unitedwayem.ca.
