We are most grateful for the support provided by First Ontario and their Blue Wave volunteers! Hands on help by way of painting at our facility, organizing successful food and toy drives. Participating in our Adopt A Family programs and this year making sure that children and teens would receive a gift by collecting gift cards as part of our adopt an angel holiday program. Our ability to assist those in need in our community is enhanced by the efforts, dedication and generosity of the Blue Wave Volunteers. The commitment by First Ontario in Supporting "their" community is certainly valued here at Community Care St. Catharines & Thorold. THANK YOU!

“The work that the FirstOntario Blue Wave volunteers have been doing in the schools in Haldimand and Norfolk County has made the Student Nutrition Programs stronger and richer over the years. It has been really great to be able to say they are one of our partners in supporting the student’s health in our area.” -Sharon Smyth, Community Facilitator, Child Nutrition Network of Haldimand and Norfolk “They are wonderful! Blue Wave volunteers mean a lot to our breakfast program. All the kids really appreciate it.” Wendy Sullivan – Education Assistant and student nutrition program coordinator.

We are honored to have partnered with First Ontario Credit Union and the wonderful, committed and passionate group of Blue Wave volunteers. This year has been especially challenging for a small not for profit like ours to pivot our fundraising events into virtual events that everyone can support in a safe manner. The Blue Wave volunteers have "virtually" joined our committee's and helped to implement these changes. They have reached out to their networks to help us raise the needed sponsorship dollars, silent auction items and participated wherever we needed help. They are always professional and go well beyond our expectations. Thank you Blue Wave Volunteers - You are the Best!
