Transforming Lives
Through Digital Solutions
Introduction to Community Connection
Established in 1969, Community Connection is a charitable organization based in Collingwood, Ontario, dedicated to fostering equitable communities. With a vision of creating healthy neighborhoods where essential services are accessible to all, the organization comprises over 30 passionate employees who deliver quality services, including inquiry support, data resources, business intelligence, and social enterprise.
Addressing Urgent Needs
Recognizing the pressing challenges faced by many individuals and families—such as access to food, shelter, and clothing—Community Connection has partnered with organizations like United Way Canada to establish the Urgent Needs Fund Initiative. This program provides immediate financial assistance for essential expenses like rent, utilities, and education to those in dire need.
Managing the Urgent Needs Fund through outdated tools like Excel spreadsheets became increasingly unsustainable as demand grew. Key challenges included:
