Our efforts are backed by a commitment to 100% local impact. This means funds raised locally are put to work right here in Lanark County, to help those most in need.
Local Presence
With the Ottawa River to the north and the Rideau River to the south, Lanark County spans 3,000 square kilometres of picturesque natural scenery and historically significant towns.
