The past year has seen significant reduction in Covid concerns and a gradual return to our pre-pandemic way of life. Although the last two years have been trying for everyone, we’ve all learned some valuable lessons. We’ve learned that simple things like social distancing, washing hands regularly, and meeting on-line whenever possible can prevent the spread of influenza, colds etc. The other thing that has become evident during these difficult times is the unflagging generosity of our populace. In fact, many charities have reported an increase in donations over the last two years.
In the spring of 2022, the Woolwich Community Fund was able to grant $15,500 thanks to your financial support and the sound management of the Kitchener-Waterloo Community Foundation. This year’s recipients were: Woolwich Community Services (pictured), The Ripple Effect, Strong Start, Kate’s Kause, Junior Achievement, and the Brain Injury Association.
Thank you for your support, and I hope we can count on you again this year. Donations can be made to the Woolwich Community Fund, c/o The Kitchener-Waterloo Community Foundation.
As an endowment fund, the Woolwich Community Fund will continue to grow and gifts of cash and securities will help. Please help us support the youth of Woolwich, and accept our wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2023.
Sincerely, Jim Schwindt (chair)
