The United Way Perth-Huron announced Tuesday their total donations to support vulnerable, and newly vulnerably people across the region during the COVID-19 pandemic topped the $800 thousand dollar mark.
“COVID-19 is a global crisis, but it affected so many individuals right here in Perth and Huron,” said UWPH Executive Director Ryan Erb. “We were able to utilize UWPH’s organizational strength as a communicator, collaborator and facilitator to bring people together and address urgent local challenges”.
Funded programs helped with many issues including food insecurity, mental health issues, housing and domestic issues among others.
The organization also helped out with weekly virtual meetings, a Facebook page, and even held 4 workshops to assist with relevant topics.
