Gray says groups like mental health organizations, family services, women’s shelter, and those working with seniors are encouraged to apply.

Meantime, Gray says the COVID-19 response fund is going really well and those funds will start rolling out the beginning of June.

The CFSEA’s Stay @ Home Gala is planned for May 2^nd.

Money raised from that virtual event will help top-up the local COVID-19 response fund.
