WinterGasm Fundraiser: WE NEED YOU
Hey folks, we know times have been really tough for everyone, especially with the recent changes for the Alberta State of Emergency. Like other businesses, we have been closed and trying to find a way to serve you and, now that case numbers are so high, we are now in desperate need of funding.
Our summer fundraising brought in $12,000, which was enough to pay our operating costs until the end of this month. The organization cannot thank you enough for the support from our community in keeping us open!. Those funds paid our lease and operating costs up to date, and now we need to bring in some more funds to keep us in our space until there is an end in sight for the increasing numbers!
What we have done so far:
- – Applied for the Commercial Emergency Rent Subsidy
- – Appealed to the United Conservative Government for assistance
- -Applied to the Red Cross for Covid-19 Funding
Without being able to host events in the building, we need to find alternative sources of funding.
