Relief Fund

Our Mission

It is the mission of this fund to provide essential items to families in need during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We understand that financial hardship is wide-spread, and it is our mission to alleviate stress or unnecessary burden on new mothers or fathers experiencing financial strain. It is our mission to safely deliver, arrange pick up or exchange of items in a safe, clean environment, following all social distancing guidelines as outlined by the Provincial Government. We will make every effort to provide these items sanitized and clean. It is our mission to provide this fund of items for as long as necessary, accepting and soliciting donations of monetary funds, specific requested items or gift cards to purchase items. The program duration will be until the exhaustion of funds and donations or until the status of the state of emergency is lifted to allow those to return to work at full capacity.
