Last week, the Ford government announced that Community Care of West Niagara would receive just shy of $100,000 in provincial funding to help support local food banks in Lincoln and across Niagara. The funding will go toward expanding food storage and coordinating local food distribution, in partnership with FEED Niagara.
The funding, some $98,700, will come through a seed grant of the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The OTF is an agency of the government of Ontario and is one of Canada’s foremost community granting foundations, having invested $107 million in community projects across the province last year alone.
