About Huron Homelessness Initiative

United Way Perth-Huron's Goderich and Area Community Committee, and the Huron East Community Committee invites you to walk and fundraise with us through the Coldest Night of the Year and help local individuals experiencing homelessness, hurt, and hunger in Huron East, Goderich and the surrounding area.


Walk to establish Nourish, an equal access market in Seaforth to support food insecurity in Huron East.


Walk to support the Huron Homelessness Initiative; including programs such as shelter for women and children, shelter supports for youth, emergency shelter during the cold months, transitional housing for men and housing support.


Homelessness isn’t just about sleeping on the streets. It affects almost every aspect of life including family well-being, employment and physical and mental health. Eighty per cent of homelessness is hidden or unreported.


((On Saturday, February 22nd, 2025, you can make a difference and support those in need by participating in the Coldest Night of the Year.
