Synod 2023 featured a summary of the Reach and Stretch grant program to date. 9 Reach grants have been approved totalling over $45,000. Most of the grants have been given for programs focusing on food security and Truth and Reconciliation.
Two video presentations were shared with Synod highlighting two grants for ongoing programs in our diocese.
St. Paul’s Cardinal Angel Tree Project, a grass roots response to assisting children and families at Christmas, which took the congregation’s ministry out to the public and which they hope, through the grant, will be sustainable.
St. Mary Magdalene Napanee Harmony Lounge & Music Club, a project responding to the need of children and youth through creating a safe and comfortable space for learning music and much more.
