Donation to support CK’s vulnerable populations – 99.1 FM CKXS

The Chatham-Kent chapter of the United Way and its programs are getting a significant boost thanks to a local energy company.

Enbridge Gas, its employees and retirees have donated $244,843 to United Way Centraide Windsor-Essex Chatham-Kent. The donation will help fund critical programs aimed at meeting the needs of vulnerable populations across Chatham-Kent.

“This transformative donation will have a profound impact on the lives of individuals and families across Chatham-Kent and will enable us to expand our efforts and reach even more people in need,” said United Way CEO Lorraine Goddard in a press release. “Together, we will create stronger, more resilient communities and drive meaningful change where it is needed most.”

Enbridge Gas has long been a supporter of the local United Way, dating back to 1948.

According to United Way officials, all donations and funds raised in Chatham-Kent will stay in Chatham-Kent.
