A new COVID-19 relief fund that will help support vulnerable people in our community has been created through the Elgin – St. Thomas Community Foundation. The Frances Tarry COVID-19 Relief Fund that was created in memory of Fran Tarry, who is the late mother of ESCF Board Member Kathy Collier and wife of the late Douglas John Tarry will be used to support our community during this time of uncertainty.
ESCF Executive Director Terry Carroll says they are hoping to donate 60% of the fund to 3 local charities as soon as possible and then save the remaining 40% for future relief.
Carroll says that at this time they are hoping to donate to our local VON, the Grace Cafe, and the St. Thomas Elgin Food Bank.
Those who would like to make a donation to the fund can do so through this link or by mailing a check or sending an e-transfer.
