 Supports this project.
To support the needs of local non-profits, charities, and groups in our community, the Chamber for Good committee has developed an itemized list of donations needed to support their mandates this holiday season while continuing to determine gaps cause by COVID-19.
To be part of this coordinated website database, please email all information to Carmen Swartz, Manager of Business Services, via info@timminschamber.on.ca. As this project is ongoing, new content can be added at any time. |
