Chatham, Ontario January 13, 2020 –  Local Chatham Desjardins Agent Scott Stanley today presented a cheque for $4,000 to the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent. The funds were part of the Desjardins GoodSpark Community Grants Program, and will be used to support their Butterfly Building Campaign.

Desjardins Insurance is providing over $271,000 in grants to 76 community organizations in Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick through the GoodSpark Community Grants Program. Each of the grants includes a donation from a local Desjardins Agent. The Agents were invited to nominate organizations that are important to them and their communities. All told, Desjardins Agents donated over $73,000 of the $271,300 total.

“I was honoured to help select and contribute to the grant provided to the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent,” said Desjardins Agent Scott Stanley. “The GoodSpark Community Grants aim to ‘spark good’ by giving a helping hand to those who need it most. This organization plays a vital role in our community and Desjardins is proud to help support their good work.”

This is the second year that Desjardins Insurance and the exclusive Desjardins Agent Network have teamed up to support Canadian communities. In 2018, a total of $190,000 was given to community initiatives in the three provinces where Desjardins Insurance Agent offices are located.
