Brockville May Court Club members at their October meeting voted $15,650.98 to support good works in the community.
This amount is in addition to annual contribution of $25,740 already budgeted.
All monies stay in the community and are raised mostly through sales at the May Court Thrift Shop, located at 75 King St. W., in historic downtown Brockville.
Funding requests are voted three times a year: October, January and April. This month Special Olympics, Pathfinders and Rangers, Meals-on-Wheels and Weekender meals for school children were major recipients. May Court also funds special needs for disabled, dental and eye requests.
Nutrition needs are a special concern. Annual funding goes to food banks, Loaves&Fishes and school nutrition programs.
$35k Plus
May Court members voted $35,236 to good causes in the community at their April funding meeting.
Recipients included the Brockville Y, food banks and school bursaries.
Funding is a thrice-yearly effort that distributes proceeds mostly from the club’s Thrift Shop. Also adding to the dollars was a new project—a giant yard sale held last fall in the Canadian Legion parking lot.
Recipients also included tracking systems for persons at risk, youth employment, and individuals with medical needs.

Donations aid Shop
May Court recently received an estate of beautiful clothes and accessories from Bill Dziadyk. These belonged to his wife Dale, who passed away in August 2021. Many thanks to Bill for this generous donation.
May Court Thrift Shop thrives on donations of clothing and household items—yes, even valuable works of art and antiques. In turn, the generosity of donors makes possible the donations of money that May Court in turn gives to those in need in the community. All proceeds from the shop stay in the local community—for individuals and charitable organizations.
