It was a record year for the Giving Tuesday campaign at Community Living Essex County (CLEC).
CLEC states that through a combination of personal, online donations, a community fundraising event and corporate contributions, the non-profit agency raised a record total of $22,643 through Giving Tuesday.
The 2024 campaign was done in partnership with matching corporate partners, Libro Credit Union and UNI-FAB.
All donations made online or in person and contributions made to CLEC throughout the month of December were matched, dollar for dollar by the matching corporate partners, the agency stated. CLEC said the campaign funds will again be earmarked toward the purchase of smart support technology for people with intellectual disabilities to use for skill building, independence, and social connections.
All the funds raised will be used to purchase items like laptops, apps, smart phones, tablets, and assistive devices for the people CLEC supports.
“Providing people with more access to technology and the support to use this technology will help them to be part of an inclusive, modern society that can open doors to opportunity,” states Tony DeSantis, manager of community relations and resource development with CLEC.
