Monthly giving is one of the most efficient ways to donate. You don’t have to worry about remembering to give every year, and it’s a great way to make a big impact through smaller donations spread out throughout the year. With your help, we can continue our work at BGC all year long.

FOUNDATIONS OPPORTUNITY CHANGES EVERYTHING
YOUTH DROP-IN PROGRAM IN FENELON FALLS LAUNCHES! The welcome mat is out at new programs in Fenelon Falls and Peterborough, creating new priorities for our Foundation as we support more children, youth and families. The new BGC Kawarthas Youth Drop-in program in Fenelon Falls is off to an amazing start. The program averages about 15 youth each night with larger numbers at special events. Taking place at the Fenelon Falls United Church twice per week, the program focuses on meals and nutrition, academic support, youth mental health and wellness and creating connections. It’s rewarding to see the youth gathering around the island in the kitchen, preparing food together, and building friendships. The vision for the Fenelon Falls program has been nurtured and honed by two amazing groups: the Fenelon Youth Impact Council, and Kawartha Works Community Co-Operative (KWCC). The youth council meets monthly and demonstrates a profound understanding of their community’s needs. KWCC has spearheaded support within the community, gathering insights about everything from gaps in community services, to potential locations, to financial supporters. This program is a true community effort! Financial start-up support has been provided by the City of Kawartha Lakes. Fundraising is now underway to gather support for additional costs and to ensure ongoing sustainability. If you’re interested, please contact the Foundation.
