COVID-19 Message

Message from the Chair In this extraordinary time of the COVID-19 pandemic, I encourage you to donate directly and as generously as possible to the organizations that are directly assisting people in North Renfrew to respond to it. The Deep River and District Community Foundation (DRDCF) continues its work in support of the North Renfrew community. We are still able to receive donations and to respond to charitable grant requests. If your organization is a qualified donee, you can apply for a DRDCF grant by completing and submitting our application form. The form is available on our website at www.drdcf.ca/grants and we can provide you some assistance to complete it. We are working entirely online, and are not currently conducting any Foundation work face-to-face or via personal contact. You can reach us by sending an email to info@drdcf.ca . If you would like to volunteer to help where you can, the Ontario Government recommends contacting www.sparkontario.ca for a listing of current needs across the province. You can find reliable information about the COVID-19 pandemic on the following websites: • World Health Organization https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 • Government of Canada https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html • Government of Ontario https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus#section-0 • Renfrew County and District Health Unit http://www.rcdhu.com We look toward to a positive and healthy future for our area after this crisis has been resolved.
