Goderich Super Storage is helping the United Way Perth-Huron with its Homelessness Initiative.
The business has donated $20,000 to the United Way campaign, focusing on the organization’s support of programs associated with the Huron Homelessness Initiative.
Goderich Super Storage co-owner Doug Kuyvenhoven says they view business as a mission and therefore take a portion of the profits to invest in the community where they do business.
He adds they are called to care for the least, the lost, the lonely and felt compelled to give this donation to help those experiencing homelessness in Goderich.
The United Way’s Manager of Community Development for Goderich and Area, Michelle Millar thanked Goderich Super Storage for their donation, saying the community has embraced the importance of supporting vulnerable people. She says they appreciate great local businesses donating to their local work helping ensure important programs and services are available for people when they need them.
The Huron Homelessness Initiative includes shelter for women and children, shelter supports for youth, emergency shelter during cold months, transitional housing for men and housing support. Last year, over 700 individuals and families were helped by the programs and services included in the Huron Homelessness Initiative.
