About Southern Huron Connection Centre

United Way Perth-Huron's Southern Huron and Area Community Committee invites you to walk with them to end chronic homelessness.

Read More

Walk in support of the Southern Huron Connection Centre in Exeter; that offers basic needs such as light meals, a shower, washroom facilities and laundry along with support through partnerships with numerous agencies.


Walk in support of the Huron Homelessness Initiative in Exeter; including programs such as the Huron supportive housing worker, shelter for women, children and youth, and transitional housing for men.


Homelessness isn’t just about sleeping on the streets. A person may be in a temporary shelter, incarcerated without a place to go afterwards or “couch surfing”.


Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 for the Coldest night of the Year fundraising walk and you too can play a vital role in support those most in need right here in our community.
