Four Abbotsford-based charities have received a total of $70,000 in grants from the Fraser Valley Realtors Charitable Foundation (FVRCF).
The foundation recently presented a total of $340,000 grants to 22 organizations across the Fraser Valley to support at-risk youth.
The charities were selected based on their work with young people facing significant barriers, including those related to poverty, mental-health issues, and a lack of access to resources and opportunities.
The latest round of funding brings the total the FVRCF has distributed in two years to more than $530,000.
The Abbotsford charities receiving the grants are:
• Cyrus Centre – $15,000;
• BeMorr Society – $20,000;
• Cares Counselling Society – $20,000; and
• Communitas Supportive Care Society – $15,000.
