Help us reach our new goal: $30,000 by April 16!
Since its inception, generous Westborough residents and businesses have donated more than $44,000 to the Westborough COVID-19 Community Fund. These funds have served as a lifeline for many of our Westborough neighbors who have lost work and income as a result of the pandemic. However, even with the arrival of vaccines and an eventual return of some version of normalcy, pandemic-related housing insecurity in Westborough is still very real, and the families facing it need our help.
 
To provide that help, the Westborough COVID-19 Community Fund has set a new goal to raise $30,000 by the middle of April. Donations collected will support Westborough residents who have been severely impacted by the pandemic. Any amount you can contribute will help. Proceeds will be distributed directly to local non-profit organizations that provide essential services to Westborough residents.  
 
Who We Are:
The Westborough COVID-19 Community Fund has been established to distribute resources to residents in Westborough who are disproportionately affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
 
Hosted by the Westborough Rotary Fund, Inc., the Westborough COVID-19 Community Fund was created following the recommendations of a task force in Westborough, aimed at identifying and responding to community needs related to the impact of COVID-19. The task force is comprised of representatives from the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager’s Office, the Westborough Food Pantry, the Westborough Fire Department/Emergency Management, Westborough Connects, Westborough Interfaith Clergy, The Rotary Club of Westborough, and Westborough Cares, which is a collaboration of Westborough Youth and Family Services, the Westborough Senior Center, In Your Shoes, St. Luke’s Church Outreach and the Forbes-Kirkside Foundation.
 
The Westborough COVID-19 Community Fund is hosted by the Westborough Rotary Fund, Inc., a 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation affiliated with the Rotary Club of Westborough. The Westborough Rotary Fund will not provide any goods or services, in whole or in part in consideration for this voluntary cash contribution. The full amount of your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. 
 
Who the Fund Will Support
Awards will be granted to non-profit organizations providing critical and essential services to Westborough residents most impacted by the pandemic, including:
 
  • People with housing instability
  • People with food insecurity
  • Frontline and essential workers
  • Seniors

The Fund is designed to be adaptable in its goals and focus, which will evolve as community members and nonprofits in our region share their needs.
