United Way Perth-Huron is celebrating another successful year after raising more than $4.8 million to support people across the region.
The organization held a special event on Thursday evening at the Best Western Plus Arden Park Hotel, where donors, volunteers, and community partners gathered to reflect on the impact of their support.
The total includes $2.56 million from the annual campaign and another $2.27 million for United Housing. That funding came through donations, grants, community bonds, and low-interest municipal loans.
Executive Director Ryan Erb said the past year has been remarkable, especially during a time of uncertainty. He thanked the community for its generosity and support, noting that thousands of local residents have benefited from the funding.
Organizers say the continued support shows just how much people in the region care about helping one another, and they look forward to building on this success in the years ahead.
