About the Fund
The Bart and Hilda Family Fund was established by Mary Ann and Wayne Fulcher in honour of Wayne's parents, Bart and Hilda (Bewick) Fulcher. Bart and Hilda understood life’s difficulties and believed in helping people when they could.
People can unfortunately end up in emergency situations where they have used all of their own financial resources and require urgent help to get back on their feet. Not everyone has the same opportunities in life and sometimes it is through no fault of their own.
This fund is meant to provide hope – a bridge of compassionate assistance when other sources of help/funding are not available. It can be used to help meet an urgent need when necessary and to do so in a timely manner.
Above all, this fund represents family helping family for generations to come. Emergency financial assistance can be up to $10,000.
