Theatre Woodstock has received $75,000 from the Community Services Recovery Fund, thanks to the Oxford Community Foundation.

WOODSTOCK - Theatre Woodstock has received a $75,000 cheque so it can recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The money is coming from the federal government's Community Services Recovery Fund. 

Jenna Sudds, the Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, says it's a $400-million one-time investment that's supposed to help local charities and non-profits modernize their organizations.

"Community service organizations are at the heart of communities like Woodstock, creating a sense of belonging from coast to coast to coast. The Community Services Recovery Fund will enable organizations like Theatre Woodstock that serve our diverse communities to adapt and modernize their programs and services and to invest in the future of their organizations, staff, and volunteers. Together, we can rebuild from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic and build a more just and equitable future for those in Woodstock and Oxford County."

The Community Services Recovery Fund is being distributed through the Canadian Red Cross, United Way Centraide Canada, and Community Foundations Canada. The Oxford Community Foundation acted as the funding service provider for Theatre Woodstock.
