CHUMS distributes $8,000
The Central Huron
Mobility Service Inc.
(CHuMS) has distributed
$8,000 to nine Huron County
agencies. The money is the
balance of contributions that
were not returned to contrib-
utors because they had
already claimed their tax
deduction, and also as a
result Of investment interest
,generated in the past two
years.
CHuMS was formed in
1994 to provide a mobility
transportation service for the
physically challenged resi-
dents of central Huron. A
change in provincial policy
left the board its share of the
funds for a new bus but with-
out provincial funding. At the
cnd of 1995 it reluctantly
began t� winddown their
operation and returned dona-
tions to those who requested
a refund and redirected some
funds to county agencies at
request of the contributors.
The funds now being dis-
persed were approved by the
board of directors at its last
meeting. The funds are being
dispersed to: The Huron
Hospice. $1.000; Alzheimer
Society of Huron County.
1.004; Huron Outreach
Attendant Services, 1.000;
Town and . Country
Homemakers, 1,000; Huron
Adult Day Centre. 1.000;
Salvation Army Clinton Food
Bank, 1.000; Seaforth Food
Bank, 1,000; Victorian Order
of Nurses. 500; and
Community Nursing Service,
500.
