23 local non-profit groups in the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, and Duncan are getting some help, so they can help others.
United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island is giving out over $400,000 across the region to local charities adapting their frontline services helping at-risk Canadians during the pandemic.
The funds will help address homelessness, and support agencies that have seen an increase in demand for their services.
Some of the local groups getting the funding include the Cowichan Valley Hospice Society, the Vancouver Island Mental Health Society, and the Nanaimo Brain Injury Society.
