Partnerships
Southern Frontenac Community Services operates in cooperation with other agencies, services, and local programs to ensure that area residents receive the services they need. Some of our partnerships include:
The Loughborough Christmas & Emergency Relief Committee (LC&ERC) is a registered charity founded in 1988 on the tradition of neighbours helping neighbours. Funded entirely by gifts from our community, we provide approximately 100 local families a year with holiday food baskets and/or emergency financial assistance to help them cope with unexpected crises such as fire, sudden death or utility disconnection.
