The Recession Relief Fund Coalition is a national organization representing more than 230 organizations across the country that are concerned about the recessions impact on Canada’s most vulnerable people.
With thousands of people losing their jobs and their homes as a result of the recession, the diverse array of services provided by the social services sector could not be more critical.
