United Way of Perth-Huron
Several community service groups in Huron County are getting a surge of funding from the United Way of Perth-Huron.
The announced funding is part of the Community Services Recovery Fund, which assists organizations impacted by the pandemic.

- Huron-Perth Children’s Aid Society — $94,200 — to expand and remodel behavioural support services at HP-CAS by adding an adapted clinical service model that takes into account new needs post pandemic.
- Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy — $34,000 — to create safe, accessible trails to support outdoor education for children and youth.
- ONE CARE Home and Community Support Services — $80,000 — to create a sustainable plan to deliver transportation, to redesign delivery models, and identify capacity and resource needs.
- South Huron Arts Centre — $10,000 — to modernize clay and visual arts programs and create opportunities for youth, elderly, isolated citizens, immigrants, and those who struggle to find a place they belong to take classes with expert potters and visual arts instructors.
