SACKVILLE, N.B. A group of Mount Allison University students in New Brunswick has launched a new program in hopes to ease loneliness and isolation among seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Third-year university student Hannah Crouse says she noticed a trend last year when volunteering to deliver food to seniors in need. These seniors were quite lonely. Perhaps some were a little nervous to go out to grocery stores and those sorts of things with the pandemic, but the biggest thing we saw was the social isolation, said Crouse. The program, called Community Connects, pairs university students with seniors in the community who then get together once a week to share a meal.
PORT DEPOSIT â Community Connecting Us is looking for people willing to give their opinions on products and services, which in turn will help the asset based community development organization set up a fund to provide micro-loans to local folks with entrepreneurial spirit but no working capitol.
âThese will be very low interest loans,â said Erica Berge, president. They want the money to be a help, not a hindrance she said. That interest, however, will keep the fund viable.
Part of the reason Community Connecting Us began in the first place was to see people succeed, Berge explained. These micro-loans will allow that person with an idea for a cottage business or a service to open the doors by borrowing a small sum of money to get started.
