Heritage Co-op is pleased to announce a donation of $10,000 from the Community Development Fund to the Clanwilliam-Erickson Childcare Initiative. The Community Development Fund, administered by the Board of Directors, supports substantial community projects that will have a lasting impact on the community.

The Clanwilliam-Erickson Childcare Initiative will fill a need for childcare for professional and working families in Erickson and surrounding area. The initiative aims to revitalize the community by attracting and keeping young families in the area.

“We recognize the need for these programs and services in small communities,” said Heritage Co-op Board President, Ken Jenner. “In order for businesses and families to thrive, there needs to be sufficient childcare options. We are happy to contribute to that coming to life in Erickson.”

The Community Development Fund has made an initial payment of $5,000 to the project, and will donate the remaining $5,000 in 2019.
