About the Program
The Community Chest program is set up to provide assistance with emergency bills, childcare, and health & wellness needs. Our goal is to provide financial assistance to those with urgent needs within our community, and create a supportive network in Oaklands. This program is funded by community donations. Therefore, the sum distributed varies depending on financial availability, due to limited funding, we generally are not able to provide financial support over $500. Depending on the circumstance and our available funding, we may be able to provide alternative resources like gift cards, food security resources, child care subsidies etc.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants must have expressed and shown the need for financial assistance based on documentation and additional information regarding their current situation. All applicants must work, live, or have children in school and/or childcare in Oaklands (or through OCA).
Applications are limited to one per household annually.

- Financial support is determined by 3 factors:
1) Applicants demonstrated need,
2) Applicants total gross income, additional income assistance/subsidies, household size & the living wage,
3) The OCA's financial capacity -- due to limited funding, we generally are not able to provide financial support over $500, and the amount distributed varies depending on financial availability.
