Unexpected loss in funding leads local society to launch emergency fundraiser

Following a sudden loss in core funding from two of their biggest funders, the Lake Trail Community Education Society (LTCES) is looking to the community for urgent support.

To maintain its free after-school programs, youth mentorship programs, community garden, food security initiatives, and inclusive community events, the LTCES has launched an emergency fundraising campaign.

The charitable organization aims to raise $50,000 by the time school starts in September.

“Every child, youth, and adult who participates in our programs is a part of our vibrant community,” said Anna Rambow, the Society’s Executive Director. “The idea of reducing or cancelling programs when connections and a sense of belonging are so needed, is unthinkable.”

Every year the society supports hundreds of community members and students through a variety of programs and opportunities… Including community events, foods courses, art workshops, physical activities and much more.

According to Rambow, the organization provides a safe space for many young people to learn life skills and receive mentorship.

“Students and families know we are always going to be here for them,” she says. “However, given the challenges we face this year, we appreciate any level of support to help us keep investing in the health and well-being of our community.”
