March in Owen Sound Today to Raise Money for Poor

People will march today in Owen Sound to help those in need.

The third annual "March Together" will raise money and awareness of the challenge of living in poverty with no place to call home.

Proceeds will be divided equally among six organizations including The United Way, the Salvation Army and the Victorious Living Centre.

Organizer Andy Fletch says it's a way to bring people together to help others.

"We're doing this for the poor in our community that are in need of emergency housing and a place to stay warm, a place for fellowship, to have a more complete life," says Fletch.

The march happens today from 9am until noon at Heritage Place Shopping Centre in Owen Sound.
