A little Local Love
October 5, 2020
In a time of disconnection the United Way is trying to bring Lynn Valley together. The organization is offering residents a one-time grant to help build community with its Local Love campaign.
Building community
For the last few months Sarah Dugan has been working for the United Way as a Community Builder. Her territory includes various parts of the North Shore including Lynn Valley. “We want to help bring a little bit of happiness to life,” said Dugan.
Local Love
The last big project for the community builders is to support the residents with their own initiatives to build Local Love, said Dugan. The Local Love project offers grants of upto $1000 to people with ideas to connect others within our community.
How it works
“We would like to help build relationships that go beyond the length of the project,” said Dugan. “I would really like to see different residents come together and meet each other.” Dugan explained there is an application process - and interested people should contact her directly so she can walk them through the application process With her guidance there tends to be less back and forth and a quicker funding result, she said. “Each neighbourhood has a budget - the North Shore has used about half of it and we have space for about four to five more in Lynn Valley,” said Dugan. How to get started:Applications must be completed by an adult, resident of Lynn Valley (but can be a representative for a larger group working together).
Outline the project
Break down of budget (max $1000) with money earmarked for supplies, time is to be volunteered.
Be open to support from Dugan to help the project be successful.
Projects need to be completed at the latest, in November.
Applications due by late October (Dugan can provide specifics).
For all the details and application contact Sarah Dugan [email protected]
