United Way agencies get boost

By JENNIFER O'BRIEN, SUN MEDIA

[ Paragraphs not relating to Children's Aid omitted. ]

Yesterday, dozens of community agencies found out how much money they'll get this year from the United Way of London and Middlesex as it released allocations from its record $6.6-million fundraising campaign last year.

Overall, United Way funding to member agencies will rise to just more than $5 million this year, up from $4.4 million last year.

Also, spending on United Way community services and special programs will rise to nearly $1.63 million from $1.4 million last year.

Yesterday's funding allocations lit up the office for United Way staff, said Helen Connell, the local chapter's executive director.

"There was a feeling of euphoria here today," she said of the office at 409 King St.

"All day long, people have been coming in to find out how much they are receiving . . . We get to see the faces of the agencies and how appreciative they are.

"It really feels good."

The Mutual Aid Program for Parents, operated through the Children's Aid Society received a $55,000 boost, bringing its funding to $199,000 to support a program that helps Spanish-speaking parents.
