The Northern Neighbors Foundation encourages residents of Flin Flon, Creighton, Denare Beach, Snow Lake, Cranberry Portage and area to make a gift next week. President Jane Robillard explains the Endow Manitoba Giving Challenge runs from the 15 to the 21st and for every five dollar gift that’s donated the Winnipeg Foundation will give them one dollar and the Manitoba government gives them a dollar so your five dollar gift turns into a seven dollar gift. She adds it’s easy to do, you could go online to www.endowmanitoba.ca, pick Northern Neighbors as your Foundation to donate and you can also write a cheque made out to the Northern Neighbors Foundation and they need to receive it before the 21st of November and it can be mailed to their local mailbox at Box 802 in Flin Flon.
Robillard notes it goes into their community foundation fund, it stays there and all the interest comes back to them and those are the grants they give out each year. If you need more information you can call Shylo at 687-0848 or Jane at 687-6488.
