Emergency support for vulnerable people<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

In March 2020, the COVID-19 Emergency Fund was created to help community agencies implement exceptional measures to assist isolated and vulnerable people hit hard by the health crisis. The fund was made possible thanks to donations from businesses, organizations and unions, foundations, municipalities and boroughs, as well as community donors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective of the fund was to meet emergency food needs and strengthen listening, assistance, and referral services for vulnerable and isolated people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Centraide\u2019s strong community ties and in-depth knowledge of community agencies allowed for a quick assessment of these needs. From the first few weeks of lockdown, vulnerable people were given the help they needed.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $8 million <\/strong>invested allowed agencies to provide ongoing emergency support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
