This week, CKDM has highlighted a lot about how local businesses build community, and one organization knows all about that.
Kit Daley with the Dauphin and District Community invests a lot of money back into the community, and their fund comes from donations, including those from Local philanthropists.
"in 2023, we awarded 23 grants totaling over $142,000 to projects which included Citizens On Patrol, the food bank, Parkland Humane Society, Henderson School and Mackenzie Middle School the Summer Games, the Handi-Van, Lorray Manor. It's such a huge range of organizations that reach out to us and if our board looks at the project, and they think it will be beneficial to the community, we are so thrilled to be able to provide support"
Keeping money where your house is can benefit many different initiatives, and shopping at local businesses is an important part of this local economic environment.
