"Asking for support provides opportunities for both the people who are helped and us who are able to provide the help." Brad Ullner, Board Co-chair. 2022 is a crucial year in setting up the foundation for the years ahead of the Social Development Centre Waterloo Region. Our team, Board, staff, members, associates, community connectors, placement students and voluntneers, have pulled many times their weight and brought many important issues and unheard voices to the forefront of the public debates and policies.  Civic Hub partner groups persevere, free tax clinic and income support programs grow, housing security and affordability concerns and work diversify and extends from the local to the national level, neighbours are being invited into COVID safe gathering spaces, and our connections and networks across the community are growing. What is your place in the SDCWR universe? Your donations and support are your vote of confidence for our future. You can donate through e-transfer to sdcwr@waterlooregion.org, write a cheque to Scial Development Centre Waterloo Region, or give through Canada Helps.
