Friends has recently been the recipient of two very generous donations. We received a cheque for $500 and another one for $1,000 to support Friends of Strathcona County Library in our efforts to enhance programs and services at the Library. The Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) is instrumental in connecting donors and charitable organizations to create strong, vibrant communities and through creating endowment funds is able to continue to support causes that matter to donors for generations to come. The $1,000 grant that was received by Friends was provided by the Detheridge Family Fund through the ECF. This is truly a wonderful and appreciated gift and we are so grateful for the community support!

As with all our efforts, the proceeds go toward supporting enhanced collections within the library, children’s resources and the Welcome Baby program. Last year’s winner walked away with $2,200!
