“We continue to fund PROGRAMS supported by agencies and raise funds for those agency programs. we also support and fund programs such as the Backpack program, Student United Way-Huron Youth Leadership Council, Day of Caring, preschool partnership and other programs that improve the quality of life for people in our region.”
