United Way Perth-Huron launched their 2021/22 campaign with an ambitious goal of just over $2 million dollars and a commitment to continue working hard to address #unignorable issues such as poverty, mental health and homelessness in North Perth.
As part of the kick-off celebration in Listowel, the United Way invited local workplaces to “Unite for a Bite” by ordering take-out lunch for staff from participating restaurants.
In total over 650 meals were ordered, with $5 dollars going to charity from each meal. Three workplaces also bought means and donated them to local vulnerable people, school lunch programs and front-line workers.
North Perth Kick-Off Sponsor Ward & Uptigrove also held a food truck lunch as a fundraiser during the launch day along with coffee from Tim Horton’s.
