WKNC and OTF

During 2005-2007 OTF funded WKNC to increase sustainability and effectiveness of the organization and programs. This enabled WKNC to hire a program coordinator for two years. 

In spring 2008 OTF provided WKNC with funding to install air conditioning in the drop-in centre, providing a cool place for people to escape the heat of the summer. 

In 2008 WKNC was awarded an Ontario Trillium Grant which spanned two years. This funding allowed WKNC to have a full-time Volunteer / Food Co-ordinator who was able to organize the volunteers around the delivery of our food security program.
