WRCF’s monthly e-newsletter to keep you connected to granting information, investing, what’s new, and ways we are mobilizing and collaborating to make an impact in our community.

It’s National Volunteer Week, and we want to take this opportunity to recognize our volunteers.
At WRCF, our dedicated volunteers bring their time, skills, empathy, creativity, expertise, and insights to help us support people and organizations across Waterloo Region on a daily basis. Each contribution they make is strengthening our communities and we couldn’t do the work that we do without them.
We asked two of our volunteers, Gary Abbott and Roshan James, to share their thoughts on volunteering with WRCF.

On the Table is an event organized by Waterloo Region Community Foundation (WRCF) to encourage community connection.
Between June 7th and 9th, 2024, we’re inviting people to bring together your friends, colleagues, neighbours, or people in the community over some food to talk about what matters most to you. This is an event that’s happening across Waterloo Region, where you’re in charge. Whether it’s a meal, snack, or coffee break, On the Table encourages individuals and organizations to take the time and connect with one another face-to-face.
