Give the Gift of Community Support during the EWCS Christmas Fundraising Campaign
This year, give the gift of community support by making a donation to East Wellington Community Services.
The Annual Appeal Campaign is on now and we are hoping to raise much needed funds to help EWCS continue to help the community.
Funds that are raised go directly into more than 50 programs and services, such as the food bank, seniors adult day programs, active seniors, our new telassurance and friendly visiting program through partnership with the VON, information and referral services and more.
For as little as $10 per month, individuals can make the difference by helping the agency distribute food to those in need, provide transportation to seniors who would otherwise remain isolated at home, develop children’s programs and more. Campaign appeal packages have been sent in the mail and packages are available at the office.
All donations will be used to support the programs and services our agency provides within the East Wellington area.
Help us continue to help those who need it most by giving the gift of community support through donating to EWCS.
