United Way and partners invest $170K in children and youth well-being
Child Safety Initiative expands to include investments and care packages for 42 local charities
The United Way Child Safety Initiative will see a significant expansion this year thanks to our partners and donors, which this year includes the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF). Now, families in need will receive infant car seats as well as baby care packages that include essential items like diapers, wipes and formula. In addition, several local charities will receive grants to support children and youth wellness programs. The additional funding and care packages mean children, youth and families will receive even more vital support this year.
Partners in the Child Safety Initiative, Paul Docksteader Foundation, Central Okanagan Foundation, KGH Foundation, and United Way SIBC, will provide 172 car seats and 39 baby care packages delivered to 29 agencies in the Southern Interior this week.
Thanks to the addition of the federal government ECSF grants, 13 local charities will receive additional investments to apply towards children and youth programs as they adapt to address COVID-19 protocols and ultimately enable them to sustain and deliver programs safely. A total of $170,000 in grants, car seats and care packages will be distributed. Read the media release: https://unitedwaysibc.com/united-way-and-partne...
