United Way Perth-Huron employees spend hours on the road, travelling from community to community, learning about important issues affecting the region. It’s fitting then, that the organization is introducing Keys for Community this year as another way for people across the region to support United Way. During the months of September, October, November, and December (depending on the location), participating dealerships including car, boat and farm equipment, are donating $25 from each sale to UWPH’s annual campaign.
“United Way appreciates local dealerships stepping up to help our campaign,” said Executive Director, Ryan Erb. “We understand the challenges these businesses face right now, so their commitment to helping us build a better community speaks volumes to their commitment to the places they call home and makes a real difference in the lives of vulnerable local people.”
Dollars raised during Keys for Community go towards United Way’s annual fundraising campaign, supporting over 40 local partners and programs working to reduce poverty, housing people, and supporting mental health and well-being. Last year, over 25,000 people were helped by UWPH supported partners and programs. For more information on Keys for Community and United Way Perth-Huron, visit perthhuron.unitedway.ca.
Participating dealerships across Perth-Huron include DeJong Auto Ltd. In Brucefield, Pentastic Motors in Gorrie, Stratford City Mazda, Stratford Honda, Stratford Motor Products and Stratford Nissan.
