The Prince George Community Foundation is doing its part to help those need it most to help them through the coronavirus pandemic.
The foundation is providing $60,000 to fund three charitable organizations in the city that have a long history of providing some of the essentials of life for disadvantaged people.
Of the total being handed out, $25,000 will go to the St. Vincent de Paul Society's food bank, $25,000 will stock the food bank shelves of the Salvation Army and $10,000 will be directed to the United Way of Northern BC and its COVID-19 Response Fund.
"Our community is facing new and unforeseen challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Mindy Stroet, director of development for the Prince George Community Foundation. "It is at times like this where we must do all that we can to support one another. These dollars will provide much-needed resources to help these organizations with their on-the-ground response efforts."
Stroet encouraged others to support the three organizations through donations and provided the following contact information:
