~ Career Exploration

Please share your support to local families this Giving Season

Posted on by

The London Employment Help Centre will be supporting local families again this year through the Giving Season, beginning on Giving Tuesday, November 27th.

LEHC offers no cost services to provide people with opportunities for personal achievement through maximum employment, as well as advocacy and paralegal support for those who need assistance in applying for social benefits. (ODSP, EI, OW, CPP-D)

Caring, professional staff take the time and initiative to ensure that those requiring additional services have received adequate support and direction through an underlying focus on the personal well-being of each individual who comes through our door.

In order to provide this level of individual support, we need your help to rebuild our Basic Needs Fund.

LEHC fundraises annually to help support clients and their families during times of crisis for food, baby supplies, clothing, transportation vouchers, medications and emergency health and
dental care.

Share your support here.


Thank you.
