Welcome to the home of the Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Relief Committee!
We are a dedicated group of volunteers committed to helping our community members in times of need. Each year, we provide support to approximately 100 local families, offering holiday assistance and short-term, immediate aid for those facing unexpected crises, such as house fires, sudden illnesses, or utility disconnections.
Our approach is one of compassion and integrity. We believe in offering a hand-up rather than a handout, working with clients to find long-term solutions. Through the generosity of our community and local partnerships, we ensure fair and equitable assistance while striving to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives.
Funding
The Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Relief Committee relies entirely on the generosity of our donors. Unlike many organizations, we do not receive funding from external sources, meaning that every dollar comes directly from individuals, families, and businesses who care deeply about our community. With a limited amount of funds, we strive to help as many people as possible, especially during the holiday season when the need is greatest. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us provide critical assistance to those facing unforeseen crises.
A Collaborative Approach
In response to the growing demand for financial assistance, especially during the holiday season, the Loughborough Christmas and Emergency Relief Committee has initiated regular meetings with other community organizations within South Frontenac. This collaborative approach aims to enhance support for residents in need.
By working together, these organizations aim to coordinate resources, share information, and develop comprehensive strategies to better serve the community’s needs. This collaboration ensures that assistance is provided efficiently and effectively, reaching those who need it most during challenging times.
Thank you for your ongoing support, caring, and kindness. Linda, Lisa, Coleen, and Sue
