- provide supports to help sustain members in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic
- fund civil society organizations to deliver projects for vulnerable Albertans who are in need during the COVID-19 pandemic
- coordinate services and programs to address the social well-being of vulnerable Albertans during the COVID-19 pandemic
Applications can be found on the City of Lloydminster website and must be submitted to Family and Community Support Services or placed in the City Hall mail slot.
