Five local non-profits to receive support from the province to help offset the impacts of the pandemic.

Several non-profit organizations in Niagara West are getting some help from the provincial government. 

Today, Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff announced over $429,000 in support of five non-profit recipients, including Horse Cents for Kids in Fenwick,  the Learning Disabilities Association of Niagara Region, Pathstone Mental Health and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 393 in Smithville, and the Town of Pelham.

"Non-profit organizations are a crucial and valued part of any community, especially here in Niagara West," said Oosterhoff. "Countless people rely on their services every day, and even facing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, they still deliver. This funding will help them offset those impacts and continue supporting those who need it most."

The money will flow through the Resilient Communities Fund of the Ontario Trillium Foundation. 

Funds will be used to help develop a new partnership model at the Learning Disabilities Association of Niagara Region, hiring additional staff at Pathstone Mental Health, and providing library upgrades to the Town of Pelham. 

It will also help with kitchen upgrades at  the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 393 in Smithville and the development of a fundraising and marketing plan at Horse Cents for Kids.
