People & Communities


 


People & Communities

Although this is a broad heading we feel it encompasses our mission of supporting the underprivileged in our community. Giving begins in the places we live and work and our Foundation envisions a community where all people feel a sense of belonging. We will support organizations in their effort to tackle society's greatest challenges of improving the well-being of all and in their efforts to make our community stronger. We support local registered charities who’s focus or priorities are reducing poverty, providing support for marginalized individuals and who facilitates social inclusion thereby making our community a safer and welcoming place.

Some organizations we have funded who we feel support this priority are:

  • Food Bank of Waterloo Region,
  • Mount Zion – Open Sesame Head Start Preschool,
  • ROOF Kitchener,
  • Send’em off Smiling,
  • House of Friendship,
  • Nutrition for Learning,
  • Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region
  • MCCO – To expand “Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey” workshops.
