Ward 5 Neighborhood Centre!

Dear Friends,

We are reaching out to solicit your support for a fundraising initiative in support of the Ward 5 Neighborhood Centre.

We have seen first-hand the work they do, providing vital support and services to those who are among the neediest in our community. Ward 5 does a lot with very little. With dwindling funds, they provide advocacy services, hot meals for seniors, breakfast programs for children, rehabilitation and job training programs.

The major source of revenue for the Ward 5 Centre is fundraising events that have been postponed due to the Pandemic. The Centre is struggling financially to keep the doors open and we need your help.
