CALEDONIA—The Caledonia Community Foundation (CCF) is accepting applications from local charitable groups who need a little extra money to help them through the challenges posed by COVID-19.

“We always do a general annual granting. People will let us know what their needs are and the board as a whole assesses the applications we get. This one is specific, and it came about a little while ago when we received information about the Ontario Trillium grant. We put it out to the people we know in the community and most people came back to us saying they didn’t qualify or they weren’t big enough,” said Julie Henning, President of CCF.
