More than half a million dollars was given to several organizations across Windsor-Essex Thursday, from the Downtown Mission to the Residence for Young Men.
The grants were awarded to support oral and mental health care programs that help vulnerable or marginalized groups.
The WindsorEssex Community Foundation awarded eight local charities a total of $580,587 from Green Shield Canada’s Six 4 Six Community Granting Initiative — $50,000 of which was from the Honey Family Foundation — on Thursday morning. There were 15 total applicants, and about half received grants that ranged from $26,000 to $165,000.
