Lori Payne on why TEF is “a brilliant idea”

“Creating The Essentials Fund was such a brilliant idea! From my long-time volunteering in Waterloo Region, I’ve learned that community agencies often have very little in terms of unrestricted and discretionary funds that they can use for the day-to-day needs for their clients – some necessities, and also things that create ease and improve quality of life – bus tickets, toiletries, grocery gift cards – things many of us take for granted.

“In these days of constantly stretched budgets, The Essentials Fund makes it so easy to make a difference by donating in one place and knowing that the funds will be distributed in a way that is meaningful and impactful across our region.” 

Lori Payne
Past Chair, Waterloo Region Community Foundation
