Two big donations have been made to the Northern Huron Connection Centre (NHCC).
Serving Howick, Morris-Turnberry and North Huron, the NHCC at St. Paul’s-Trinity Anglican Church in Wingham is intended as a welcoming, safe space for the community’s most vulnerable citizens to rest, access basic needs, healthcare services, identification assistance and more.
The United Way of Perth-Huron recently announced a pair of donations to the NHCC from Royal Homes and Maitland River Community Church ($10 thousand and $30 thousand respectively).
“United Way is a fundamental part of this community,” said Pieter Venema, president of Royal Homes.
“We are proud to continue to support their work in providing a helping hand to those that need it.”
“The Maitland River Community Church has been blessed and are grateful to be able to donate towards the Connection Center in Wingham through United Way,” said Karen Rylaarsdam, administrative assistant at Maitland River Community Church.
The NHCC is scheduled to open in February of 2023.
