The United Way Care -A -Van of hope
rolled through Goderich, collecting dona-
tions, and eager to help those in need.
The Huron -Perth initiative saw United
Way members travel to different commu-
nities in the counties. This year the cam-
paign benifitted from the help of Scotia -
bank, which volunteered to be a partner
and matched donations up to $15,000.
Wayne Smith, who helped spearhead
the mission, said with Scotiabank as a
partner this year, there has been extra
motivation.
"Scotibank stood up as a partner and
said if you raise $15,000 we will double it
for you. So we published that, that's why
we are coming around to different banks
and picking up the donations," Smith
explained. "It's been an excellent
motivator:"
The event has been running for three
years now. It started in September, with
the formal wrap up Dec. 15.
The Care -A -Van made seven stops;
Goderich was the third. Members trav-
elled in a bus donated by Cherrey
Buslines and heard stories from member
agencies and received greetings from
local dignitaries.
While the members enjoy the trip and
collecting donations, Smith said it's meet-
ing the people and explaining to them
what the goal is all about that he enjoys
most.
"One of the things that I really enjoy
about this campaign is meeting people
and sharing what the United Way is all
about, and what we do for the commu-
nity," Smith said.
"We have been getting a tremendous
response. I find that when you can sit
down with people and talk to them, and
explain what's being done invariably the
response is a very positive one."
