What's happening at SCF
Support fall grants
We've had an overwhelming response to our call for fall grant applications — and we want to fund as many outstanding local projects as we can. You don't need to hold a fund with SCF to help make that happen. Donations of any size can be made directly to the SCF Community Fund, and every gift goes toward supporting this fall's grant recipients across Sarnia‑Lambton.
