United Way awards federal grant to VON

The Sarnia-Lambton United Way has awarded $11,400 of federal funding to the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON).

It's the ninth in a series of grants through Ottawa's Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF).

The VON will use the funds to provide therapeutic tools and communications devices for volunteers and clients in the Volunteer Visiting Program and for clients and caregivers in the Adult Day Program.

The money will also help SMART instructors with their exercise and fall prevention classes.

As of June 24, there was one month remaining for community-based charities and non-profit organizations to access the ECSF.
