The United Way Peterborough and District is accepting applications for its Emergency Community Support Fund, which will support organizations helping vulnerable groups during the coronavirus pandemic.
The branch has received $366,080, which is part of the federal government’s $9-million investment announced in late March for the United Way Centraides to support vulnerable seniors at risk of COVID-19.
For Peterborough city and county, charitable organizations can apply for grants of up to $10,000 to provide direct services to vulnerable populations impacted by COVID-19. “COVID-19 is affecting all Canadians, but our government knows that certain segments of the population are more vulnerable than others,” said Peterborough-Kawartha MP Maryam
