How these funds will be used As the impact of COVID-19 to our community grows, so does the demand for social services. The resources raised through this fund will ensure agencies on the ground can continue their critical work in this time of need. The fund will support people most heavily impacted by COVID-19, including elderly citizens, Indigenous populations, people living with mental health and addictions, persons with disabilities, homeless individuals, and others that may be identified as this public health crisis changes. We also know this is an evolving situation, so we will be working diligently with our community partners to continue monitoring this situation and responding in the most effective manner. Calgary is a caring community and we’ve shown that we are stronger together. Through crisis, we take a stand to make sure no one is left behind and everyone is taken care of. We rally together for the safety of our families, loved ones, and neighbours. Your investment in our community is already helping local people today. By supporting the Community Response Fund, you will be further helping our city’s most vulnerable as we all cope with the impacts of COVID-19. |
