'Do you think people are feeling donor fatigue?'

Citizens of Brockville and communities throughout Leeds and Grenville are often characterized by their charitable nature.

However, it seems this generosity may have its limits. The United Way of Leeds and Grenville recently reported that two-thirds of the way into its annual fundraising campaign, it has raised less than 40 per cent of its $800,000 goal.

As well, earlier this month, the Operation Harvest Sharing food bank's annual drive came up well short of last year's results.

The Recorder and Times asked people in downtown Brockville over the weekend if, because of all the disasters happening around the world recently, people are feeling 'donor fatigue' when it comes to supporting causes in our own community."
