To work within the greater community in order to build a permanent fund to enrich the quality of life throughout the western half of Lanark County. The foundation encourages philanthropy and provides a focus for those who want to make a lasting contribution to their community.
Aware that there wasn't a central database or source for interested volunteers to learn about volunteer opportunities in our area, we partnered with the local Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Perth to initiate and co-sponsor a Volunteer Opportunities Fair which enters its third year in 2014. More than 35 community agencies and charities from across the county participate and showcase their organization and its needs at the event, which is held during National Volunteer Week.
