Today, the training room is busy as our neighbour, Chatham-Kent Association of Realtors, are masked up and creating Winter Warmth Kits to help CK’s homeless. Make sure to like and follow them. Next week is Realtors Care Week and they will be flexing their care muscles.

Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for all the farmers who work hard to produce the food we eat. We are thankful to our neighbours who are doing incredible things out in this community. We are thankful to having a day off where the office is closed.... Enjoy today and stay safe #CKont We'll be back at the office tomorrow.

Let's make sure we look out for our neighbours. While in CKNC we ask that you protect each other by wearing a face covering that covers your nose, mouth, and chin. We have also included new signs that clearly label our entrances & exit and installed additional hand sanitizer stations throughout the building.... Stay safe #CKont

Last night United Way gave a select group the sneak peek of their upcoming movement. The CKNC is proud to say that they are part of #UnitedWeCan #TogetherWeWill

Since the start of flattening the curve in Chatham-Kent, United Way has been collaborating with Chatham-Kent’s network of charities, organizations and grassroot...s initiatives to identify and respond to the gaps, needs, trends and opportunities that emerge locally in response to COVID-19. We know the most pressing needs this week are: Help with basic needs, financial recovery, and emotional supports; as government emergency relief benefits will be ending in the next month for a large population of people who recently became unemployed due to COVID-19. COVID-19 has hit Chatham-Kent’s senior population and organizations are seeing how it has taken a toll on their health. Seniors in crisis are being urged to take advantage of available supports. Seniors needing immediate help are advised to dial 211, day or night, or their toll free number 1-877-330-3213 if you are using a pay as you go phone. Organizations working with people experiencing intimate partner or child violence are seeing an increase in referrals. They wish to let the public know that they are still open to support you and remain committed to ensuring your safety, wellbeing, and privacy. Groups working to meet the needs of the homeless are looking at opportunities to keep moving forward; however, they forecast a need for donations of fans, air units and money as there may be limited cooling stations in Chatham-Kent. Those wishing to provide a donation of a gently used fan or air conditioner are asked to call Neighbour Link at 519.352.5647. Children, youth and young adults need to keep active for their own physical and mental health. Planning is underway for free virtual backyard camp activities, groups, fun events and workshops for the whole family this summer. Stay tuned for more details. Organizations wishing to join in on the discussions can sign-up on http://ow.ly/r84Z50AbCIO or call Scott at #UnitedWayCK 519.354.0430 x232. Read the full report here: http://ow.ly/o1W750AbCIN
