The WCEF works closely with local CLSC staff (who do a wonderful job) and various agencies, but some financial hardships simply don\u2019t fall in neat little boxes for social, provincial, or insurance funding.\u00a0 We are a registered charity and have established evaluation criteria and processes as well as an array of sample tools from thank you letters to financial ledgers.<\/p>\n<p>Our experiences have shown that we simply cannot afford to provide assistance for all neighbouring municipalities, and that fundraisers are more effective when they are focused on supporting local needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In that regard, if you would like to create an Emergency Fund in your community we will be more than happy to freely share all of our knowledge, experiences, and tools!<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 For your information, such a fund does not require an exorbitant amount of resources to administer as, for example, since 2009 the WCEF has operated with five or less board members and a handful of volunteers. You can do it too!<\/p>\n<p>Please contact us and we will help you make a real difference in your community!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to make a real difference in peoples\u2019 lives in your community?
