Kingston Community Credit Union (KCCU) joins the City of Kingston to support the fifth year of the Kingston Community Climate Action Fund (KCCAF) with a new project announced yesterday at a kick-off event.
The Kingston Community Climate Action Fund was developed by the City of Kingston to support local charities and not-for-profit organizations and their initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and/or air emissions, increase energy conservation or efficiency, reduce, or divert organic waste, or to assist with Climate Change adaptation and technology innovation.
Extend A Family Kingston (EAFK) Growability Hydroponic Greenhouse has been selected as the supported project for the 2024/2025 Kingston Community Climate Action Fund.
Jon Dessau, CEO of Kingston Community Credit Union, stated, 'KCCU has a long-standing commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community. As climate change remains our greatest emerging challenge, it is a privilege to continue our partnership with the Kingston Community Climate Action Fund for a fifth year, supporting the upgrades to Extend A Family Kingston’s Growability Hydroponic Greenhouse.'
KCCU has supported the promotion and fundraising of the fund since its inception in 2020 and will match donations made at their branches up to $5,000 again this year.
Kingston Community Credit Union invites Kingston residents to support the project by donating at any of their three branches (18 Market Street, 795 Gardiners Road, and 1201 Division Street).
