KINGSTON --
Non-profits and organizations in Kingston are hoping for a piece of the pie after city council voted to add a $1 million pandemic relief package during recent budget deliberations.
The package would include approximately $600,000 support for small businesses, $200,000 for recreation and social service not-for-profit organizations and roughly $200,000 for artists and not-for-profit arts organizations, all of which have been impacted by the pandemic.
Andy Mills is the executive director of the Food Sharing Project. He says the charity, which provides lunches to kids in schools, has seen an increase in demand, while the cost of food and delivering it safely has also gone up.
