Community Support Fund
Community Support Fund
We understand that our Black community has been hit the hardest by COVID-19. The impact of caring for sick family members, loss of employment, and being over-represented in low-paying public-facing jobs - our Black womxn and families require essential support.
The Fund is currently open to help 5 Black families in Montreal & Kitchener.
We offer emergency response support to those in need in our Montreal and Kitchener-Waterloo communities.
In December 2020, the ForUsGirls Foundation, with funding from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund led by Employment and Social Development Canada and the Canadian Red Cross Society, provided 230 Black womxn and families with emergency direct beneficiary aid. We provided grocery store gift cards, and public transit passes, gas cards, counselling & therapy and financial support for utilities, hydro, and rent.
