Monthly Message: Celebrating Nonprofit Appreciation Week in Dufferin-Caledon

February 20, 2025 · 0 Comments

Nonprofit Appreciation Week (Feb. 10-14, 2025) is a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible work of nonprofit organizations in our community. These organizations provide essential services, support local initiatives, and make a lasting impact on the lives of many.

This year, we marked the occasion in a special way, highlighting the dedication and contributions of nonprofits in Dufferin-Caledon. We proudly celebrated 2025 Nonprofit Appreciation Week from Feb. 10 to 14.

To honour the week, we launched a series of engaging social media reels featuring a special proclamation from our very own Town Crier, Andrew Welsh. With his signature presence and powerful voice, Andrew officially proclaimed Nonprofit Appreciation Week, bringing well-deserved recognition to the hardworking individuals and groups that support our community every day.

While filming these reels, our Town Crier certainly knew how to draw a crowd. A few passersby stopped to say hello, curious about the excitement. Filming at the historic Orangeville Town Hall made it even more special, as people couldn’t help but take notice of the lively proclamation taking place.

This celebration was made even more meaningful through our proud partnership with the Dufferin Community Foundation and DC Moves. Together, we continue to uplift and empower local nonprofits, ensuring they have the resources, support, and recognition they need to thrive. As Nonprofit organizations, by working together, we strengthen the entire Dufferin County region, fostering a community built on care, collaboration, and positive impact.

Nonprofits are at the heart of meaningful change, and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication and service. Nonprofit Appreciation Week is just one way to say thank you, but our appreciation extends all year long. Let’s continue to support and celebrate these organizations that do so much for our community.

Your friends here at the Dufferin Board of Trade want to sincerely thank you for your hard work, dedication, and passion in driving positive change. Together, we make our community stronger.
