Cornwall — On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, the Agapè Centre received a $1,000 donation from the Club Richelieu Cornwall, reinforcing a shared commitment to local children and families.

No child should know poverty or hunger—and yet it remains a reality in our community. Each month, the Agapè Centre supports over 1,300 children through its Community Market, while its weekday breakfast and lunch program ensures students start the day ready to learn.

Behind these numbers is remarkable leadership and a devoted team of staff and volunteers working with dignity, compassion and purpose. Their impact is real, immediate and deeply human.

Richelieu is inviting citizens to be part of the solution. Whether through time, donations or simple acts of kindness, every contribution matters. Together, our community can ensure that no child goes hungry—and that every small gesture helps build a stronger, more caring Cornwall.

Faire un don pour l’amour des enfants

À titre de club de service, le Club Richelieu investit dans notre Jeunesse. Il va sans dire qu’un tel investissement requiert des fonds qu’il reçoit des individus, des entreprises et des institutions.
