The Comox Valley Community Foundation recently invested an additional $51,170 in
grants towards six local charities supporting populations experiencing heightened
vulnerability as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. T
“Sanitizer is an absolute necessity for local charities as they continue to provide services
and programming for residents of the Comox Valley during this second wave of the COVID19 pandemic,” said Bert Heeringa, Owner/Operator Canadian Tire Courtenay. “Recognizing
that the purchase of sanitizer is an extra expense for many community organizations with
already tight budgets, we wanted to assist them in reducing their costs and instead allow
them to direct their funds in support of their clients and mission.”
“On this special day, the Comox Valley Community Foundation would like to express its
appreciation both to our donors for their long-term vision and support of this community,
and to all those who work within the not for profit and charitable sectors for their service
to our community,” said Matt Beckett, President of the Comox Valley Community
Foundation
