A much needed and highly anticipated child care in Assiniboia edges closer to their goals thanks to two local grants received.
A Facebook post in late July stated, “We're thrilled to be able to give a fundraising update! We received two local grants this month, the Golden South Wind Community Benefit Fund awarded by the RM Lake of the Rivers and the Town of Assiniboia's Financial Contribution Grant. This support will help with our fundraising goal for the construction costs at our new centre. With contractors scheduled to start next month, we appreciate any contributions to our goal.”
The endless dedication of the volunteer board has helped realize other fundraising income which included just over $3,000 from this year’s golf tournament, helping the group become $7,000 closer to their Phase 1 fundraising goal.
The group is also grateful for the donation of $8,800 from the annual Hayley and Cayden Mother’s Day run. As well, Integra Tire for earmarking their anniversary barbecue to the child care centre, donating $2,845.
Additionally, Gold South Child Care were the recipients of $2,500 from the E. Bourassa and Sons Community Development grant, celebrating their centennial anniversary.
