Since May, the United Way of Perth Huron has been running their Urgent Needs Fund, supporting people in the community.
Nearly 600 people have been supported through their fund.
Martin Ritsma is Campaign Co-chair for the United Way Perth-Huron.
He says they’re steadily climbing towards their annual campaign goal of over $1.7-million.
Over $80,000 has been raised by local residents alone.
