United Way Centraide North East Ontario put out a call for groups earlier  to apply to the Emergency Community Support Fund.

The money is aimed at supporting vulnerable people due to COVID-19.

The list of recipients in Nipissing District includes $50,000 for the Victorian Order of Nurses in North Bay, $40,000 for the Brain Injury Association of North Bay and area, $39,000 for The Gathering Place, $38,000 for Victim Services of Nipissing District and $15,000 for the Nipissing Serenity Hospice.

That’s around $185,000 in all.
