Non Profit Organizations continued to push through the pandemic and had to get creative to adjust to COVID-19.
Tara Tennant, director and Former President of the Cobden Agricultural Society, explains the hardest thing her and her team had to deal with.
“Our big struggle was that our annual fair was cancelled, because we can’t have people gathering. That’s really our one big event for the year. As well as all of our weddings, dances and fundraisers. Even though we’re not for profit does not mean that we don’t have to make money to maintain the space and to maintain our presence in the community. So all of our sources of revenue dried up really, really quickly and we had to come up with new ways to figure out how to maintain our existence, basically.”
