2015 Campaign Off To A Great Start

Brown says with two big fundraisers planned for October, the Pembina Foosball Tournament and the Locally Lambton Dinner, he hopes to be near 50 per cent around Thanksgiving.

The United Way of Sarnia-Lambton funds 22 member agencies which provide 35 programs and services to area residents.
