The United Way Estevan announced Monday that it has received a grant for $50,000 from the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation.
This funding will help to address food insecurity by providing groceries to 100 local families over the next 10 weeks through a project named Feed Estevan. The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation created this Emergency Response Fund “to provide financial support to the community in south Saskatchewan where a need has been identified related to COVID-19.”
The Estevan Community Hamper Association and the Salvation Army will determine the families most in need of this assistance. The Estevan Community Hamper Association and United Way will then team up to implement this project.
If you are interested in donating towards this issue, you can contact the United Way Estevan at [email protected] or go to its website at unitedwayestevan.com. All funds received will go directly to food costs to help enhance or extend this Feed Estevan project.
United Way Estevan acknowledges the financial support of the Emergency Response Fund For Community Needs at the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation. The foundation is a public foundation serving the people of south Saskatchewan.
It builds permanently endowed charitable funds for the changing needs and opportunities of the community and provides grants to eligible charitable organizations in culture, health, education, the environment, recreation and social service sectors.
