Each foundation receives $10,000 to advance local healthcare services; funds in Palmerston will go towards an MRI machine, while Clinton will invest in an ophthalmic chair for post-surgical eye care.
"We received many applications showcasing the needs of rural communities. Hensall Co-op is honoured to support organizations that are essential to our communities," remarked Brad Chandler, CEO of Hensall Co-op.
In addition to these primary grants, Hensall Co-op also extended financial assistance to five other organizations, funding projects ranging from community center enhancements to new medical equipment for regional hospitals.
Established in 1937, Hensall Co-op remains a cornerstone of Canadian agriculture, supporting not only local farmers but also fostering global connections across 45 countries. Its dedication to community support underscores its broader mission to enhance rural vitality sustainably.
