GUELPH – The Tricar Group is donating $100,000 to the United Way’s Local Love Global Crisis community response fund.
The funds will be disbursed proportionally in the Southwestern Ontario communities where Tricar works and where they build, with $50,000 to Elgin Middlesex, $35,000 to Guelph Wellington Dufferin, $10,000 to Sarnia-Lambton and $5,000 to Perth-Huron.
“Now is the time for the community to come together to support those in need as a result of the COVID-19 crisis,” says Adam Carapella, Vice-President of The Tricar Group, in a press release. “Building homes also means building communities and we are committed to helping uphold the health, safety and vibrancy within these communities.”
“We are extremely grateful to the Tricar Group for their support and shared commitment to supporting the most vulnerable through this crisis,” said Colleen Murdoch, Director, Communications and Community Impact at United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin. “This support enables us to continue our work with community partners to ensure those struggling with basic needs and vulnerable populations, such as seniors, receive assistance during this difficult time.”
“We chose to partner with the United Way as they work closely with community partners and are able to identify and quickly respond to the most urgent needs,” says Carapella. “Everyone has an important role to play as we are truly all in this together. The Southwestern Ontario business community certainly recognizes their role as industry and community partners and are stepping up in this time of need.”
