About United Way Simcoe Muskoka
Poverty is an everyday reality for a growing number of our friends and neighbours. It brings with it increased physical and mental health risks and creates obstacles most people never have to think about.
Tackling an issue as complex as poverty takes all of us. Your United Way brings together local agencies, community members, government agencies, and businesses to address the root causes of poverty and social isolation in a way that drives long-lasting change. One of the ways we do this is by funding multi-year collaborative projects right here in our in our community.
Together we can make a difference.

This route is slightly longer than the 2km only because it passes the facility that we are raising funds for. It is a worthwhile walkby...also would like that location to be a rest stop
