United Way Perth-Huron is looking to add members to its Community Impact and Allocations Committee. The committee reviews and evaluates funding applications, chooses investments ensuring funding supports the community, engages with the community to set local priorities and acts as a liaison when needed.
Volunteer Week is April 14 to 20, and United Way Perth-Huron (UWPH) is celebrating the passion and commitment of the volunteers who bring so much to the organization.
Ukrainian refugees sponsored by the Multicultural Association of Perth-Huron have started to arrive in the region, and donations are still being solicited to help with settlement and flights.
Since Feline Friends Network was founded in 2006 to reduce the problems of cat overpopulation and homelessness humanely, it has helped at least 3,352 cats get spayed and neutered.
“That’s the reason Feline Friends started,” said Sharon Morrice, president of Feline Friends Network. “It was started by someone volunteering at the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter at the time. She could see there was a big, big problem with cats – more cats coming in than dogs, so she thought, why aren’t we working on the root cause of this and that is that cats multiply at such a high rate.”
