The United Way Perth-Huron welcomed a full house to its annual campaign kick-off luncheon at the Kiwanis Community Centre today.
The United Way works with nearly 50 community groups and organizations on a local level in the region.
Executive Director Ryan Erb says the bar has been set high for non-profit’s fundraising goal of just over $1.5 million.
He says it’s a good sign seeing as nearly a quarter of a million dollars has already been raised.
The campaign kick-off was supported by Sun Life Financial and all of the food provided came from Stratford’s Local Community Food Centre
