United Way Niagara has created an emergency fund to help community agencies overwhelmed by the coronavirus outbreak.

“We’ve emailed them and told them, tell us what you need right now,” said executive director Frances Hallworth. “As they need those things, we will be sending the money out.

“We can get money out very quickly to our organizations, they won’t have to wait.”
