DUNNVILLE—PenFinancial Credit Union will be donating $20,000 in emergency funds, which will be distributed to local organizations to support critical food shortages across the Niagara area in the wake of COVID-19. This includes a donation to the Dunnville Salvation Army Food Bank.

As businesses temporarily shutter due to COVID-19, and more still lay off staff both temporarily and permanently, many families are facing unexpected financial insecurity. While government subsidies have been promised, the sudden loss of income, illness, and childcare disruptions has resulted in the uncertainty of where tomorrow’s meals will come from and how next month’s rent will be paid.
